The Standard Newspaper in The Gambia reports:

 'King of Kora' is a title that has long preceded the name of Jaliba Kuyateh, but on Saturday the Brikama-based, Niamina-born former classroom teacher was crowned 'King of Kora' in a well-attended ceremony in the British city of Bristol...

The crowning was undertaken on behalf of Kombo Sillah Association (KSA) by the founder of the Gunjur-Marlborough link, Dr Nick Maurice, who stated that the ceremony will go "a far way in contributing to the global recognition of a truly great man, the King of Kora, Jaliba Kuyateh."
