Gambia’s Nova Sambou embarks on US Tour

The trip was courtesy of Global Properties, one of the Gambia’s estate developers, and embarked on to promote music from Nova and company to an American audience. Since then, reports have indicated that the Gambian star is indeed taking Gambian music to another level.

Nova told The Voice Vibes that the trip being his first time is an eye opener in his quest to promote his music internationally. “Yes, it is my first time and the forces behind our trip are Global Properties and Champion Sound,” he said. “So I want to say a big shout-out to the Chief Executive Officer of Global Properties Saul Frazer.”

According to Nova, since they arrived in US, their shows were going smoothly and went on to laud Gambians in US for their warm welcome and turn out in the concerts. He expressed a desire to do collaborations with some US artists if time permits.

“Since we arrived here we have been crisscrossing cities like New York, North Carolina, Texas and Las Vegas for concerts. My aim is to fly the Gambia’s flag high through my music and this US tour is a good experience as far as my music career is concerned.”

With his short stay, Nova maintained that afro-wave, the genre he promotes, is gaining momentum. “Afro-wave is moving positively here,” he said. “It is a kind of music that contains a whole lot of flavours. So people here love it so much. Even when I am on stage you see DJ acknowledging how they love the genre. And that is a blessing.  I pray that God keep blessing The Gambia.”
