Discography of Gambian recordings
Compiled by Graeme Counsel
This discography seeks to present all vinyl recordings (78, 45, and 33.3 rpm discs) produced in The Gambia or which feature Gambian musicians. I have also included compilation discs where Gambian artists are represented. If you own or know of a vinyl recording that is not listed here please send me an email (the address is on the home page - see link below) with the details and the entry will be included. All contributions will be acknowledged on this web page.
Square brackets indicate approximate year of release.
