Kemah Bandor - GOLA-MENDE SONG FROM LIBERIA (REST IN PEACE MA KEMAH)

Traditional song by Kemah Bandor, a Traditional Gola singer from Gola Konneh district, grand cape mount county. She passed away in August. Gola music from Liberia

[@philipl.skanneh5671]

What a sweet song. Mama Kema combined both Mendes and Gola. This makes the song so special and can be understood by both the Mendes and Golas. According to my grandmother from Pendembu Kailahun, mama Kema was the guest singer at the funeral ceremony of my late grandfather's mother ; a Gola herself in Tomayama village, Kailahun District

[@ZoluXolu]

The singer is from Liberia. From grand cape mount

[@mateegooknuh5988]

They’re Liberian , Gola-Mende people . Which means they derives from the Mende ethnic group . Hence why they’re called Gola-Mende people. Look them up.
