The three texts in this book are by three of The Gambia's leading bards, BambaSuso, Banna Kanute and Dembo Kanute. A brief biographical note on each ofthese three bards will be found before the text which each has provided. Thetexts by Bamba Suso and Banna Kanute are included here as illustrative of thedifferences of both style and content which can occur between two performancesof the 'same' epic. Dembo Kanute's text is an example of a narration whichdraws upon the Sunjata epic, but where the focus of interest is not Sunjatahimself, but one of his generals.
