Abraham
Colongy
Abraham Colongy (real name Ebrima Sambou) is a Gambian
born in Sierra
Leone. He started his
musical career
at a tender age
and progressed
through the years.
He had a massive
single with his group Born
Gambians in the late
90's called " Slavery or Slave
Trade" but
some were use to
it at the time
as "Our
Great Grand Parents" which was a real hit before
they all went solo.
He has released
several singles
there after, which
all carry very
powerful messages. " Skin
Bleaching & Talk
Too Much" became some of his most
appreciated song
in 2002 and 2004
respectively. " Preach & Teach" was
also amongst those
songs that had helped
him regain his popularity
and currently he
is riding high, creating
storm in all corners
of Brikama, and home
to many Gambian musicians
more over anywhere
in Gambia where ever he's heard.
Abraham Colongy given the title " Gambian
Sizzla" by
some of his fans,
who is unquestionably
the leading young musician in Brikama, following the departure
of Rebellion D' Recaller, has launched one his much-talked-
about single, Talk
Too Much , on Jan 24, 2004 at the popular Afra FM,
Brikama.
Colongy, some times referred to as God's Friend ,
is a source of inspiration for many sprouting young musicians
in the 90's, shortly before Rebellion entered the scene and
stole it. Abraham Colongy has worked with many renowned artists
and producers all of which admires his energy and the messages
he's spreading.
In an interview with What's On, Colongy said, "The single 'Talk Too
Much' is all about hypocrisy. It is out mainly to condemn people
who like talking about other people's business. This is why I said in the song, "shut
up your mouth. Leave people business, and try to mind your own."
Refine Respect is certainly one of the songs our communities need to bring
us together in this divided world of hatred, and to sum that up Abraham has
a message for Black Women that we men need them and so vice versa in his song "Woman
Them Know".
"Who Them" is so intelligently done you
can't believe the content of the song it is so much of an advice
and an eye opener for the youths who want to go separate ways
instead of the truth.
Finally as the saying goes "No matter how fast a horse
runs you must chain them to run faster" , Abraham
is also looking for our support to take his career to a higher
level & with your support he can do it. So please let's
all come together in our millions & support this good
cause. Every kind of support is highly appreciated.
Thanks for visiting Abraham's page and watch out for him more
coming soon this is just the beginning! Peace!!!!
