From then on, we decided to create this association in order to participate in cultural exchanges between the two countries. Don Trotti founded the association in 2017 in Switzerland and Selecta Hans in the Gambia.
As a result, several projects have begun; support for artists, organization of concerts, tours, radio show, musical collaboration, copyright and much more.
We decided to build a recording studio in Sukuta so that we could meet the demand of our active members. Construction of the studio was completed in 2021.
Don Trotti went alone in The Gambia in order to carry out administrative tasks for the association in place. This new step will legalize the status and other of the Swiss Gambia Association
A tour was organized with a new team of volunteers and including Don Trotti, Natty-Nat, DJ Postman & Legal Sound

The 3rd edition made us cross Gambia then Senegal from Casamance to Dakar. The Gambian, Senegalese and Swiss teams were in full force. More than 12 employees participated in the realization of this tour.

In all the projects that we maintain, we uphold a family spirit. Everyone contributes their time and knowledge to enhance our daily tasks. We promote equality among all members, ensuring fairness in our interactions and activities.
There are several types of membership:
Active members are directly involved in the association's operations (administration, studio work, marketing, etc.). They participate in assemblies and actively contribute to the tasks of the Swiss Gambia Association (SGA). Active members can choose to support the association further by subscribing to a monthly plan, which offers discounted services to aid their projects without financial barriers.
Passive members support our cause and ideas without being physically involved. They attend concerts and are interested in receiving updates about the latest music news and upcoming performances by active members.
As of 2024, we are proud to have 64 members from both Switzerland and The Gambia.
