Ndey Cham, who first became famous with her single Bulldem (Don't go), has just released her debut album Njall.
The album, currently available in all the recording studios in the Greater Banjul Area, includes songs that tackle themes such as women empowerment, social vices, health, and youth matters.
The Gambian singer has become a Mbalax star in the country, blending popular Western music with jazz, soul, Latin and rock, with a touch of the traditional drumming music called sabar.
"I dedicated the album to the late Alhaji Sankung Sillah because he was someone who helped transformed the lives of many Gambians through providing employment opportunities for them," the Banjul-born diva told the Point.
The Mbalax singer told the Daily Observer that she had previously performed for London's famous Notting Hill carnival which is held every year in August, and she has also received the best dressed female artist award at the Gam-Spirit Music award ceremony at the Kairaba Beach Hotel earlier this year.
