Albert Market, The Gambia

Albert Market, The Gambia

A vibrant poem capturing the colours, rhythms, produce and everyday spirit of Albert Market in Banjul, The Gambia.


Amidst Banjul’s streets,
Women’s colors set hearts free,
Tribal rhythms flow.

Albert Market thrives,
Coconut palms and guava,
Gambia’s soul alive.

Soursop, mangoes ripe,
Aubergines glisten bright,
Flavors come alive.
