Description
Juldeh Camara is a Gambian griot and player of the riti, a single-string fiddle.
Growing up in upper Gambia to a legendary ritti player Sheriff Camara, it was not until age 5, Juldeh Camara began watching his father play the nyanyeru, the ritti. It came a point the young Juldeh cried whenever his father refused to give the ritti to fiddle with it. As the father, Sheriff Camara continued his musical tours in Basse sometimes with reputable politicians like the former vice president of the Gambia Assan Musa Camara, by now Juldeh Camara had started to finetune his fingers with the rhythm of the nyanyeru.
In June 2014 Camara appeared, as part of the Sensational Space Shifters, with Robert Plant at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival.
