In der gambischen Hauptstadt Banjul. Es ist laut, heiß und quirlig.
Recorded On Go-pro 2 HD
The president of The Gambia says he remains in charge of the West African state after his security forces thwarted an attempted coup. Yahya Jammeh said an ex-army commander tried to take control of the country while he was visiting France. His current whereabouts are unclear. Heavy gunfire had earlier erupted near the presidential palace in the capital. Mr Jammeh seized power in a coup in 1994 and his critics accuse him of ruling with an iron-hand. Diplomatic and military sources said soldiers from the presidential guard appeared to have mounted the attack on the presidential palace in Banjul in the early hours of Tuesday 30 December 2014. The government denied there had been an attempted coup in a statement broadcast on state radio. However, Mr Jammeh later acknowledged the attack and said forces loyal to Lamin Sanneh - who he called a "disgraced" former soldier - had invaded The Gambia from Senegal "in an attempt to overthrow its legitimate government".

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has warned that he would make "an example" of anyone who had been part of an alleged attempted coup as soldiers loyal to the President rounded up dozens of military personnel and civilians as a large cache of weapons and explosives were found. Five people were have said to have died in the attack though this has not been confirmed. The President was visiting Dubai at the time of the attack. He also blamed dissidents based in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany for the attack. Heavy gunfire was heard near the presidential palace in Banjul on 31 December 2014 but details are sketchy. Mr Jammeh seized power in the tiny West African nation in 1994, and is accused of not tolerating any opposition. The suspects have been interrogated and were being held in “four villas” in or near the tiny west African nation’s capital Banjul, said a source close to the Gambia’s National Intelligence Agency (NIA). The president denied that the attack was mounted by sections of the Gambian military: "The Gambian armed forces are very loyal as far as we are concerned - there isn't any single participation of the armed forces except nullifying the attack. So this cannot be called a military coup - this was an attack by a terrorist group backed by some powers that I would not name," said the President. One alleged conspirator also led authorities to “a large quantity of very sophisticated automatic weapons and explosives,” in a shipping container disguised as second-hand clothing at Banjul’s port. Mr Jammeh also warned that he would make "an example" of anyone who had been part of the attack. The US government has denied that it had any role in the alleged coup attempt. A Dakar-based researcher, Gilles Yabi, warned Wednesday of a major risk of repression extending beyond the military figures involved in the coup attempt. "There are fears the regime could take advantage of the situation by blaming people who had nothing to do with it,” he said. The Gambia is a popular winter sun destination for European holidaymakers, especially from Britain.

To mark this special event I chose to collaborate with a group of established musicians and composers - a group whose multiethnic origins reflect the international nature of the Olympiad itself. "Just as cultures are linked by shared themes, a common history and customs, so we -- each separately and all together - are linked by the common quality of the natural world: rivers, oceans, our environment, its forests and mountains. And stars. Man has gazed up at the stars since the birth of humanity. This is the origin of astrology, astronomy, the measurement of the seasons and the first steps of science. I believe there is no single experience in the world which tells us more than the vastness of space, and the innumerable heavenly bodies. And thus the stars form a bond between us all - regardless of country, nationality, regardless even of time. "Orion, the largest constellation in the night sky, can be seen at all times of year, from both hemispheres. It seems that almost every civilisation has created myths and drawn inspiration from Orion. As the project advanced each of the musicians and composers, myself included, used part of this inspiration to aid us in our creative task. "And so the star-studded skies, seen from every corner of our planet, inspired us to present a multicultural, international, musical composition." — Philip Glass

Banjul, Gambia Tourism (HD) - Banjul, Gambia Vacation Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube Banjul, officially the City of Banjul and formerly known as Bathurst, is the capital of the Gambia and is in a division of the same name. The population of the city proper is only 34,828, with the Greater Banjul Area, which includes the City of Banjul and the Kanifing Municipal Council, at a population of 357,238 (2003 census).[1] Banjul is on St Mary's Island (Banjul Island), where the Gambia River enters the Atlantic Ocean. The island is connected to the mainland to the west and the rest of Greater Banjul Area via bridges. There are also ferries linking Banjul to the mainland at the other side of the river. Etymology Banjul takes its name from the Mandé people who gathered specific fibres on the island, which were used in the manufacture of ropes. Bang julo is the Mandinka (Mande) word for rope fibre. The mispronunciation led to the word Banjul.

We just returned from a trip of a week visiting The Gambia. During the visit there was an attempt for a coup against Yahya Jammeh, the president of The Gambia. He became president in 1994. Via a coup. Local people mentioned that since then, there has been an attempt for a coup roughly every three years. More information about this attempted coup on the following website: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/gambia/11322107/Sandhurst-trained-officer-led-Gambian-coup.html As tourists we did not notice anything of the attempted coupe, we where alerted by family back home. As a wink therefore this video with things to do on your trip to The Gambia / while waiting for the next attempt for a coup. During our trip we stayed in the Senegambia hotel. When you consider staying in this hotel, consider the "Deluxe Villa". This is similar in pricing compared to a apartment, but the villa is much bigger, has a terrace, has a safe and has two separate bedrooms. Locally this Deluxe Villa is known as Z4 and as room 2902. More information about the Deluxe Villa, here: http://www.senegambiahotel.com/beach/index.php/en/accomodation/deluxe-villa Our travel scheme has been: day 1 Arrival with the weekly Corendon flight from Amsterdam to Banjul. In the evening we met separately with two guides for planning trips. day 2 Rented a bike and went for sightseeing the area. First stop was the Bijilo Forest Park, which is very nearby the strip in Kololi. The afternoon we cycled to Serekunda. day 3 Visited the Makasuta Cultural Forest, Tanji and went for bird watching day 4 Visited the Fatalah Wildlife Reserve in Senegal, herefore we took the ferry from Banjul to Barra and from there rented a car. After this we went to St James Island and visited the slave trade museum. With the car we drove to the village “Juffureh”/”Albreda”, from where we took a 10 minute boat trip towards the island. This day covered both the "Roots by Land" trip and the "Trip To North Senegal" from Arch tours. With a small group, these trips can easily be done in one day and saves taking the same ferry twice for two days. Do be advised to take the first ferry, which for us left from Banjul at 0700AM but this differs per day. A special thanks to our tour guide, Jane Joof, who was willingly to offer and arrange this customized trip, also for a small group of 2-4 persons. Jane has his own company which can be visited on http://www.justgambia.com. day 5 A day of rest on which we went for a walk on the beach. day 6 Visited the Abuko Nature Reserve which is 12 kilometer from Kololi. Here we saw crocodiles, therefore being a perfect alternative for the Kachikally Crocodile pool in Bakau. Next to Abuko we visited a bird show of Alan Ames and visited his small 'zoo' which has eagles, cheetahs, monkeys and a small lion. More information can be found on http://www.gambia.co.uk/blog/2014/05/28/abuko-nature-reserve/ After this we went to the Lamin Lodge for lunch, after which we visited a local compound. day 7 The second day of rest on which we went for a walk on the beach. day 8 Had a golf training at the Kololi Beach Club [http://www.kololi.com/kol_golf.php]. This is much smaller then the Fajara golf course, but for beginners more then adequate. In our trip we skipped a visit to George Town and area, since this is 2 days trip during which you travel by car for 5 hours [one way]. For us, this was to much traveling. The restaurants for diner which we liked in Kololi where the following: 1) Tohonga African Queen, especially the sizzlers are advised. This is also one of the few restaurants open for lunch. 2) The Kololi Beach club, they regularly have shows, or very nearby the beach and less expensive then restaurants on the strip. As a non-member you are not allowed to take the closest entrance, but you have to walk via a smelly and quiet road towards another entrance. Access via the beach is also possible, but the guards mentioned the [small?] risk of being robbed here. 3) Love 2
Gambia Travel Video - Its easy to miss The Gambia on a map of mighty Africa. This tiny sliver of land is a mere 500km long and 50km wide, and, with the exception of an 80km shoreline, its entirely enveloped by Senegal. But beach-bound Travelists have long known how to trace this oddly shaped country on the map. Its magnificent coast invites visitors to laze and linger, tempting with luxurious beach resorts and bustling fishing villages. But theres more to Africas smallest country than sun and surf. Stunning nature reserves, such as Kiang West National Park and River Gambia National Park (also known as Baboon Island), and the historical slaving stations of St James Island and Jufureh offer peaceful pauses from the clamour of the nearby coast. And The Gambias vibrant culture is always there to be taken in by open-eyed visitors. Traditional wrestling matches regularly take place, the heaving markets of Banjul and Serekunda the Atlantic Coast have you soaking up the atmosphere and sharpening your negotiation skills, and the striking performances of kora-strumming griots can be experienced during weddings, baptisms or public concerts. Bird-lovers will easily be seduced by this compact country. On a Travel upriver, the cries of over 300 species will follow you as your pirogue (traditional canoe) charts a leisurely course through mangrove-lined wetlands and the island of Georgetown. Even if your ornithological skills dont go beyond identifying an inner-city pigeon, youll be tempted to wield binoculars here, and can rely on an excellent network of trained guides to help you tell a pelican from a flamingo. Enjoy Your Gambia Travel Video!

Peace FM Online 2015-02-26The Republic of The Gambia, commonly referred to as The Gambia, or Gambia i/ˈɡæmbiə/, is a country in West Africa. Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa, surrounded by Senegal except for a short coastline on the Atlantic Ocean in the west.
The country is situated around the Gambia River, the nation's namesake, which flows through the country's centre and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its area is 11,295 km² with an estimated population of 1.7 million.
On 18 February 1965, Gambia gained independence from the United Kingdom and joined the Commonwealth of Nations. Banjul is Gambia's capital, but the largest cities are Serekunda and Brikama.
Gambia shares historical roots with many other West African nations in the slave trade, which was the key factor in the placing and keeping of a colony on the Gambia River, first by the Portuguese and later by the British. Since gaining independence in 1965, Gambia has enjoyed relative political stability, with the exception of a brief period of military rule in 1994.
Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American composer. One of the highest profile composers writing "classical" music today, he is often said to be one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. His music is also often controversially described as minimalist, along with the work of the other "major minimalists" La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Steve Reich.
He has lately distanced himself from the "minimalist" label, describing himself instead as a composer of "music with repetitive structures." Though his early mature music shares much with what is normally called "minimalist", he has since evolved stylistically. Currently, he describes himself as a "Classicist", pointing out that he is trained in harmony and counterpoint and studied such composers as Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with Nadia Boulanger.
Glass is a prolific composer: he has written works for the musical group which he founded, the Philip Glass Ensemble (with which he still performs on keyboards), as well as operas, musical theatre works, ten symphonies, eleven concertos, solo works, chamber music including string quartets and instrumental sonatas, and film scores. Three of his film scores have been nominated for Academy Awards.
Let me take you to the wicked wicked Westside
Where them niggaz carry chrome and the best die
Where we push up in the corners that we fight for
City from the shores breeds gangsters and Vice Lords
Bustin pistols while we runnin from the five-oh
Hit the adversaries up because we drive slow
Oh I'm a killa mayne, standin on these corners
Hustlin for my denim mayne, and if you try to move
Soon as I hear one shot
I'ma let the tec and desert eagle ride non-stop
If I have to I'll commit a murder just to maintain
Tell me what you thought I'm from a city where they gangbang
And I got that thang thang
Get it however you want it cop a fo' and then split
Hustle hard and work your way up 'til you holdin a brick
Cop an ounce of this 'dro I got the flyest shit in town

Don't talk no shit or you can end up on primetime
My nigga Ty Nitti be holdin down the nine-nine

When I'm in the 100's you can always smell the scent of purple
These niggaz always gettin money in they inner circle
Fuck with 'em they fin' to hurt you; gotta get they cash on
Necessary evil they quick to put the mask on
Then they gotta put the mash on; steady bustin at each other
I take a tool and bust my strap and scream out "Free my brother~!"
Bitch-ass motherfuckers; I'm about to break 'em out
If they hit me before they get me I'ma take 'em out
If we successful we gon' smoke a blunt and cruise home
Introduce him to his new Charger with no shoes on
'Til the haters move on
Fin' to set up shop now, gotsta hold the block down
Gettin paper make me feel like... {la-da-da-dahhh-deeeee}
Now let me take you to the motherfuckin projects
Where the true thugs, and the elite members of the mob at

When they tell you "Where you from" when they catch you on the elevator
The fiends lurkin, niggaz serve in pissy hallways
Can't say shit cause they be gettin money all day
Mercedes parked out front, chillin with a hat cocked to the left
In the ride with the glock cocked smokin a blunt

Just gimme the countdown
Know where we goin [scratched: "AZ"]
Uh-huh ["AZ"] ["Streets is yours for the takin now"]
Feels so good ["AZ"]
[AZ]
You know the come up, stack get right, put the gun up
Laugh, get nice, split the blunt up
Pray blue and whites don't run up, remain humble
You see the change when the Range come through
When all the fame ups your game cause your name's mumbled
The chicks notice, usually it's like hypnosis
It's ferocious when broke niggaz get focused
The cars come out, bottles at the bar run it
You know you're large when you in car could dodge a drought
But here's the twist up, when beef and the money mix up
Skirts lift up, a few fights, few stick-ups
Then one little thing just, leads to the next and
Here come them hot boys to breathe down your neck
Now you gotta pack up, flee from the rest and
Just so we can go, you was free from the stress
I guess it is what it is
[Chorus: DJ Premier scratching]
"Creepin on a come up" "Streets is yours for the takin now"
"Creepin on a come up" "I'm from the place where hardcore is beautiful"
"Creepin on a come up" "Streets is yours for the takin now"
"I'm rather unique" "I'm from the place" "Brooklyn"
[AZ]
You know the saga, who liver, who hotter
Who shot at who at the Ramada
I knew about beef since Bambaataa
Before "Beat Street" streets was heavily deep with the riders
Guns and money, some was hungry
Dysfunctional families that come from junkies
Jailbirds with wanted warrants up in countries
Just jungle survivin like a bunch of monkies
Marked dollars, D.A. NARC's with collars
Niggaz snitchin, but still got the heart to holla
Hot chicks in short skirts and damn near topless
Play fly and they gossip, stay high and just ride dick
Can't call it, too fresh to spoil it
Two tecs to war with, grew up next to all this
So understand I know from firsthand
The lies of a church man, high off his first gram
[Chorus]
[AZ]
The jails is packed, the streets is wack
It's even worse when your workers tappin your beeper sack
Wifey's gettin feisty, she's beefin back
Though it's unlikely, it might be her Visa's maxed
The coke is up, so now cushion throws what's up
And the Ricans got the game in the cobra clutch
The D's in the Capris too close to duck
But what the fuck, they can suck on some coconuts
The stress is real, it drains all the sex appeal
Nuttin left but jail death or a record deal
Vibes is weak, hoes wanna slide and creep
Even fiends got a thing for that hide and seek
Stick-up kids, kidnap, switch up cribs
It's still crazy how them cocksuckers hit up Big
'Pac is gone, the state of hip-hop is wrong
You want more then long on to A-Z dot com
(feat. Sunshine Anderson)
(Petey Pablo)
Getcha money, it's tha come up
Nada nada, get the whole thing
Do it big. yeaaaaaaaaaaaa
(Petey Pablo)
Time is tickin', with a hole in the hourglass
Startin' guns, been five
And I ain't tryin to come in last
Ain't no need for me to be upset
And ain't no need for you to be mad
If a man got his own pad
And whether he want forty-karat
He gonna have to do that there, prove yourself
The greed words, you had that there
What a dream, he would always had
And it ain't right, but that's the way it is
In this life, you don't get to deal
You can climb to the roulette wheel
I want something I can leave my kids
The memories of what they wish their daddy had did
If I could leave them all a couple of mill
And show em how this cruel world can really get the best of a nigga
I'd show em life through the eyes of a demon
The only thing that matters is the root of all evil
(Chorus-Sunshine Anderson (Petey Pablo))
Getcha money made (getcha meoney), it's tha come up (it's tha come up)
Not a little bit (nada nada), get the whole thing (get the whole thing)
Gotta do it big (do it big), to sum it up (yeeaaaaaaa)
We just wanted it, tha come up
(This time through added libs by Sunshine Anderson)
Getcha money made (getcha meoney), it's tha come up (it's tha come up)
Not a little bit (nada nada), get the whole thing (get the whole thing)
Gotta do it big (do it big), to sum it up (yeeaaaaaaa)
We just wanted it, tha come up
(Petey Pablo)
I aint got time to be bothered with ya'll
I got a hundred problems and there's only one way I'm gonna solve em
I'm gonna have to get my grind on
Hustlin' and using my muscle tryin to bring the prize home
I ain't the only nigga with issues and I know that
But I ain't concerned with nobody's issues by mine Jack
I invented jail, invited(?) em back
Hell, I'm still in that
The only thing left now is six feet of cold black
Flower bringin' and church singin'
In a grave stiffed up and stankin'
And you can tell that I've been thinkin' can't cha(can't cha)
Now maybe you can understand my anger
And while I'm still out there candy slangin'
And while I'm out there, chasin' them banks
And why I gotta smoke a pound of dank
You never know when your day gonna be your last day
Better get this money when it should've been made (maaade)
(Chorus)
(Petey Pablo)
I'm sorry it had to come to this (to this)
I know I'm really disrespecting your family members
That really love to care
It ain't ya'll, cause ya'll know me better than this
I guess it's just the way that I'm is
And maybe I'm a deadbeat kid
Maybe I really don't deserve to live
Maybe they should have gave me life in prison
Only takin' what they give me
Cause out here, I'm stuck in menace
Cause out here, I'm a threat to niggas
I'm like smokin' and pumpin' gas
Light the fire loose to the filter (whew)
You don't feel the vibe we givin'
Cause if you'd did, you'd done been the hell up
You'd done been stickin' ahead of your business
You'd of been, shittin' embarrassed to hit me
You'd of been, sent them boys to get me
Nah ah ah
And I don't repent cause I ain't that nigga
And anything I done, I meant it (you meant it, you meant it)
(Chorus) 2X
(Sunshine Anderson)
Getch yo money made
