Mourners have begun gathering at Tatadinding Jobarteh’s house in Brikama as funeral begins for the fallen music icon.
Tatadinding succumbed on Saturday at the age of 56 after a brief illness. He will be laid to rest at 2pm Sunday.
Jaliba Kuyateh speaking to The Fatu Network from Tata’s house said the Kano (love) singer loved him.
“He was my child, on both sides. On the one side he is my nephew and my son the other. I met him playing the Kora but he said he loved my way of life. He imitated the way I walk and everything. He loved me. He was a good person,” Jaliba said.
Jizzle on his part said his parents used to listen to Tata’s music and that’s how he came to know about him.
“He was doing good music and I felt really sad hearing that we lost a legend. I am praying for him and I’m telling his family to be strong. We are with them. May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace,” Jizzle said.
