          Legends of Gambian music: Lalo Kebba Drammeh

          Lalo was named and christened under the eldership of Foday Burama Sagnia.

          He became a heavy pipe smoker, with a deep speaking voice and a sharp, soft tenor singing voice. He was favoured by President Lepold Sedar Senghor.

          A master of the Kora instrument, he tuned his kora once and never between songs as done by most Jalis.

          Before playing the kora, he’d lose the strings from previous tunings and re-tune the Kora tightly with a special technique in a pattern that allowed him play all kora tunes fluently according to the kora scale patterns.

          There are four kora scale patterns used in playing the varied notes to make a coordinated tune.

          He was the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and at some stages also served as Minister of Defence as well as the Chief.

          They are the Silaba, the Swauta, Hadirin and the Tomoroba. All of these kora scales are incorporated in Gambian kora music unlike the kora sound of Mali, Guinea, Guinea Bissau and Senegal. In these countries musicians play one scale and use it as a national sound symbol identified as the national local tune
