People always wonder why this splendid cultural affinity between the Gambia Kora Maestro Mr. Jaliba Kuyateh and Kumareh Band and the dynamic Kombo Sillah Association (UK). Of course the relationship runs deeper than the conventional initiation of Jaliba and Kumareh Band as Honorary members of Kombo Sillah since 2009.

Banking on their 30 years of fraternity, the Kombo Sillah Association (KSA UK) in collaboration with the Marlborough Brandt Group (MBG) jointly took part in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebration which royal event took place on the 1st of May 2012 by the foot of a 900 year old cathedral in Salisbury.

The royal occasion attracted participants and onlooker from far and wide across the length and breadth of the Wiltshire District and was marked by display of artefacts’, traditional singing and dancing by various groups including KSA and MBG. The following pictures depict the splendid activities jointly planned, prepared and presented by KSA and MBG.
