Britain. Pa Omar Jack came with an exclusive type of the
take-away food. It was his awesome and awarded-nominated single.
The creative singer titled his highly thoughtful single ‘Fish
and Chips’ and it has turned to be the quick mantra within the
Senegambian region. With the bulging fame of the song
Senegambian community in the UK were eager to feel (or munch)
that homeland style of fish and chips. But the lanky singer

resorted to upgrading their styles and formats to achieve this high
quality standard. Gambian-born Yankuba Jarju aka Yanks, a Telford based
