Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain

Bla Xit Family, 62 Gambian's drowned at sea going the BACK WAY from Banjul to Spain recently. It is with a heavy heart and tear filled eyes that we make this episode. When discovered that our friend a local shop owner lost four family members. We felt that we owed it to Gambia to send our condolences to the families that have lost loved ones to the BACK WAY and also to discuss this sensitive issue. Exploring prevention and solutions.
This episode was made in the Bla Xit studio and we thank Melo for recording and editing and graphics. We also thank Sandro for his ****istance from Starq productions. We also thank Harona Drammeh for the snippet from his how Harona in his interview with Juliet on the 23rd of September on Paradise TV. We thank Haddy, Adrian and Ousman, Melo for their contributions. We hope the 80 survivors find shelter and comfort. We hope the families who have lost family members act as warning beacons for others to stop the BACK WAY.
