Eba Sallah Biography
(Singer, Songwriter & Producer)
Genre: Reggae, Afro Beat, Dancehall&Ska) Genre: Reggae, Afro Beat,
EbrimaSallah, better known as EbaSallah started playing music around the middle of 1998, just after finishing his secondary school education. He got together with Modou Jang Jallow aka the Chief Justice and Jamil Miknase aka Micky Boy to form a rap & reggae outfit called the Legitimate Brothers. Back then his music pseudonym was The Well Wisher.
The group released 2 singles
1) School girls which was very popular and
2) The Legitimate brothers (a song which we sing praising our group).
The new group didn't last very long and soon split to pursue other opportunities. However, because of Eba's strong belief in his music, he stayed the course, despite the many difficulties in his path.
At the beginning of 1999 Eba acquired his first guitar and promptly enlisted himself in music classes to learn the basics of playing the guitar and music theory. In June of the same year he teamed up with Habib Leigh, Mamady and Alhagie Leigh to start a band called The Cyco Band. They performed mostly for tourists in nightclubs, bars, restaurants and hotel stages.
The band’s name was later changed to Five Star Band and then again to the Kid & Co. Crew. Finally in 2003, after so many hic-ups and false starts the Holy Family Band was born whose style would be a mixture of afro reggae and hip-hop, soul music.
The Holy Family Band is one of The Gambia's hottest Senegambian Reggae groups who came together in 2003. All the members of the band originally come from Bakau New Town on the West Atlantic Coast, three of the band members are brothers.
