Yes money! Money changers are everywhere holding a calculator for the tourist to change over their foreign currency for the Dalasi. Upon arriving in Gambia, you'll here the prayers of an Imam omnisciently sounding from a loud speaker in a Mosque. Islam is the official religion of Gambia, with an overwhelming 90% of the country practicing and devout Muslims. However, there are distinct variations of Islam in all parts of the world, and those variations are played out in the cultural manifestations of each particular country. Islam came to the country in the early tenth century. The religion which dominated out of the Middle East spread across Africa has a firm place in Gambia. Unlike places where we perceive Islam to be a fundamentally oppressive religion that has no tolerance, it is completely not true in Gambia. With modernity, communication and global representation of ideas, Islam has its own interpretation in Gambia. It meshes deeply with natural African customs, cultural motifs and traditions.

    Extractions: 2 April, 1997 BANJUL, GambiaA special June festival is planned in this beautiful West African country. Organizers hope the "Roots: Homecoming Festival" will attract Blacks from throughout the Diaspora to Gambia to celebrate African history and culture. The festival was first conceived by the late author Alex Haley, who traced his family roots to Gambia. Mr. Haley, who wrote the 1970s bestseller "Roots," which was later made into a movie and inspired Black Americans to trace their family ancestry, asked Gambians to "call home" all Africans for a celebration of their history and culture. Mr. Haley died in 1992. The festival is in its second year and planned for June 14th-21. The event promises to bring Black people together in Gambia, a land which could easily be renamed "the land of God" because of its colorful landscapes and natural beauty.
