==Life==
The name Jaliba means great praise singer or griot in his native Mandinka language. His father, Kebba Sankung Kuyateh, also a renowned Kora player, gave him the name in anticipation of his future greatness.〔(Interview with the Daily Observer )〕 Jaliba was born and raised in Niamina Dankunku to musician parents approximately 61 years ago. He was officially born on the April 13th 1957, though there is some controversy as to the exact date he was born as births in his village were not recorded at the time.〔 His grandfather, Wandifeng Jali, was also a famous Kora player of his time.
Despite coming from a long line of musicians, getting a formal education took center stage in young Jaliba's life. He started his education at Niamina Dankunku Primary School and later transferred to Pakalinding Primary School. He finished his secondary education at Crab Island Secondary School.〔 He then went on to attended The Gambia College from 1977 until 1980. Growing up, Jaliba was made to practice playing the Kora as a form of punishment for misbehaving.〔
By working hard on this 21-stringed complicated instrument, he developed a love and mastery of the instrument that shines through his music. Paired with his silky smooth voice, Jaliba took Gambian music to new heights.
