By Neneh Bojang
The spotlight shines brightly on Sanna Singhateh, also known as ST the Gambian Dream, affectionately called the Brikama Boyo, as he secures his place among the headline artists for one of Europe’s most prestigious music festivals—Summer Jam in Germany! 🇩🇪
This monumental achievement solidifies ST’s position not only as one of the Republics national treasure’s but as a global powerhouse in the music industry.Sharing the stage with an incredible lineup of global superstars such as Vybz Kartel, Davido, Shenseea, Beenie Man, Morgan Heritage, and many more, ST proudly represents The Gambia. This marks the third consecutive year a Gambian artist has graced this iconic platform, a testament to the growing influence and recognition of Gambian music on the international stage.
ST’s remarkable year continues to inspire. Hot off the success of his album launch concert, he also made headlines for his philanthropic gesture of donating 320 bags of sugar to support the underprivileged during Ramadan. His dedication to environmental advocacy and campaigns for a greener Gambia demonstrate his commitment beyond music, making him a true leader and role model for his community.
This year, ST also showed a new side of himself by honoring women on International Women’s Day with a heartfelt message, “We are wishing all women an all women’s right day. Alma Duwal jabila,” and his latest album, Nna La Duwa (Mother’s Prayer), underscores the deep respect and gratitude he holds for the sacrifices and prayers of his mother, which he credits for his resilience and success. Indeed, his mother’s prayers have come to fruition, guiding him as he ascends to this significant milestone at the annual Summer Jam.
ST’s journey from Brikama to the world stage is a story of perseverance, talent, and an unwavering connection to his roots. The Gambian Republic beams with pride, celebrating this victory as a win not just for ST, but for all Gambian artists striving to leave their mark on the world.
Congratulations, ST! Keep making waves and shining brightly for The Gambia. Here’s to more wins for Gambian music on the global stage.
