FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE DEATH of his brother in June last year, one of America's high profile singers in the 1960s Jermaine Jackson is putting up a major musical concert in The Gambia this Saturday at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
All roads are leading to Gambia's main football venue where according to organisers thousands of fans will converge to enjoy the music by Jermaine Jackson who by all indications has been dormant for a relatively long period of time. His coming to The Gambia was made possible thanks to the personal intervention of President Jammeh who is giving Jermaine another unique opportunity to be resuscitate his music in The Gambia and Africa by extension.
Clearly, The Gambia also stand to gain some publicity during the course of his travels in the country and more so the timing of his musical concert in honour of his death brother Michael is well placed given the fact it has been his brother wish to stage a come back, something that never -to be.
In his interactions with the Gambian media, Jermaine Jackson has persistenly avoided talking about his late brother, the told journalists at the Banjul International Airport that he was still mourning and as such he has promised himself not to talk about Michael.
But whatever happens, Jermaine is expected to make history on Saturday when he appear on stage as part of an ambitious fund raising drive initiated by President Jammeh to contribute towards the development of worthy causes.

Already the Banjul International Airport has been inundated with visitors from different countries, LA actress Tchina Arnold known for her instrumental role in 'My name is Chris' Tv series descended on Banjul last evening. This is her first visit to The Gambia, and she's anxiously looking forward to finding out more about the country.
Portrait artist known for putting up a spectacular portrait of U.S President Barack Obama in the oval office at White House Chaz Guest is also in town for the second time in three months. Senegal's famous wrestler Yahya Jobe AKA Yekini told me last night that it was an honour to be invited by the President to come and grace his 45th birthday celebrations in a grand style.
