Summary

Jola social song accompanied by the three-stringed gourd lute, with narrative, recreational and dance settings and individual stylistic variation. [1] [2] [3]

Contemporary and trending

Family performance, teaching and interethnic presentation sustain the repertoire. Mandinari’s teaching work is one documented route of transmission beyond the immediate household. [2]

History

Jola histories of the instrument intersect with Atlantic banjo research. Linford cautions against turning that relationship into a timeless story of one exclusive ancestor. [3]

Musical characteristics

A three-stringed gourd lute accompanies narrative and recreational song. Individual technique and local performance contexts matter; the instrument is not a substitute label for all Jola music. [1]

Geography and communities

Lower Casamance and Gambian Jola communities. Family/migrant links, the Mandinari teaching center and specific modern interethnic presentations. [1] [2] [3]

Artists

Daniel Laemouahuma Jatta combines musicianship, research and teaching. His account and Linford’s fieldwork point toward family and community performers with varied personal styles. [2] [1]

Lower Casamance and Gambian Jola communities. Family/migrant links, the Mandinari teaching center and specific modern interethnic presentations. Fields distinguish the community heartland from specifically documented wider use; political borders and population totals do not determine intensity.

The fields express editorial judgments about relative musical affinity and reach, not measured audience shares. Radius is the zero edge of a linear fade; same-genre overlaps combine by maximum.
