Daniel Laemouahuma Jatta
Daniel Laemouahuma Jatta is a Jola scholar/musician from Mandinary, Gambia, who pioneered the research and documentation of the Jola folk lute, the akonting, as well as the related Manjago folk lute, the buchundu, in the mid-1980s. Prior to Jatta's work, these instruments were largely unknown outside the rural villages of the Jola and Manjago throughout the Senegambia region of West Africa.
