Welcome to Kaira Arts Center

Welcome to Kaira Arts Center, the website of Pa Bobo Jobarteh and The Kaira Band, from Brikama in The Gambia, West Africa.

Pa Bobo Jobarteh is a master kora player, born into one of The Gambia’s most famous Jali families. Pa is an accomplished solo artist, known throughout The Gambia. He also performs alongside other members of his family as The Kaira Band.

In 2005 Pa Bobo visited the UK after an absence of 8 years and is planning to return in 2006 with the Kaira Band.
