Gambia
"For The Gambia, Our Homeland"

Words by: Virginia Julie Howe
Music by: traditional, adapted by Jeremy Frederick Howe
Adopted: 1965

"For The Gambia Our Homeland" is the official anthem of this English speaking nation in the heart of French-speaking West Africa. Adopted upon 1965 independence, the music, from the traditional Mandinka song "Foday Kaba Dumbuya", was adapted by Jeremy Frederick Howe (whom I presume is the husband of the lyricist).
