Peace to Everyone... here's my latest update....
I'm a week in Africa now. Yesterday was one of the most dynamic days of my entire life. I was starting to worry that I had made the wrong decision coming to Gambia. I had just spent a whole day, doing nothing, just sweating in my room, waiting for this one person to come by that had planned to take me around, but I hadn't heard from them. I was starting to contemplate leaving Gambia and going back to Senegal, and I was worried about my money situation, and all the sudden the worries started snowballing and I started distrusting my own judgements for coming here on not enough cash, or even coming here at all.
Then everything suddenly changed. The next thing I knew I was chilling at the beach with some beautiful company. I made some good friends. And later that night I was chillin at these Rasta Muslim dudes house, and meeting all the family, and we bumped Lucky Dube's music for four hours. Back in America, most people don't know Lucky Dube, but I've been a fan of him for a while... but Lucky Dube is huge in Gambia, the Gambians love Reggae, he used to come here for concerts, and the guys I was with said it was the best concert Gambia has ever seen. They played me some exclusive joints of his, the last songs he ever recorded. These were people like I've never seen before, they used the name Jah and Allah interchangeably, and they were all about peace and love. We chatted about everything from remembrance of Allah, to 2pac Shakur, to love, peace, justice.... they were some real cats.
They took me out that night to the clubs. The clubs were playing some of the tightest music I'd never heard before, European hits I'd never heard, tomarrow is reggae night, and they want me to come for that. But the thing is, in America I never go to clubs. I only went last night cause I was curious what the African club scene was like. But ultimately, places with smoking and drinking, and fake, dirty women aren't really my kind of places. I love the music and the dancing was cool too, but I'm looking to go upcountry for more authentically African people and experiences. The crowd last night was kind of international style.
Anyway, I haven't gotten with the really religious cats, and may not for another week, because the curious nature inside me wants to know all aspects of Africa, so I will experience more of what African have to offer Islamically maybe next week.
I visit and stay with a new family the next few days so I will see if they have anything planned for me.
Assalamualaikum...
