Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Episodes of the Sareti Bayelaa drama series produced by Team Kitabu have combinedly recorded over a million views count on YouTube. This comes barely three months since the first episode of the popular Mandinka drama series was dropped on the online video sharing platform.<\/p>\n

Reacting to this milestone, Kitabu Fatty, the series director enthused: \u201cHitting that number is a big achievement for the entire team. It shows the hard work and dedication all of us continue invest in the production. This is a film that every Gambian can relate to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ismaila Fadera, a Sareti Bayelaa enthusiast on social media, described the production as undoubtedly the best Gambian series, saying everything about the production team is topnotch.<\/p>\n

\u201cKitabu is setting standards and by taking the series to YouTube, it can help the younger generation to tap into digital platforms for a wider audience. Like many keen followers, I am interested in the whole plot and how the complexities thereof develop throughout the storyline.\u201d<\/p>\n

One frequent commentator on the Sareti Bayelaa series is Sang Wisdom Mendy, a media and communications trainer. For Mendy, the cultural significance of the film is what makes it epic even if its storyline too cannot be overlooked:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun and educative. From the costumes to the very rich Mandinka used in the film, there are a lot of lessons to be learned, especially for a society losing its cultural values due to westernization. Young people in particular have a lot to benefit from the series,\u201d Mendy pointed out.<\/p>\n

Sareti Bayelaa captures the heart and soul of a close-knit pre-technology Gambian society immersed in the tangled web of love, rivalry, polygamy, cruelty of widowhood, traditional healing powers and the mythology of yesteryear. The series mainly revolves around a charming young man Lang Sareti, who would become the subject of a love triangle involving two contrasting characters Loli and her nemesis Sarjo. Its huge appeal amongst Gambia\u2019s online community lies in the deep social and aesthetic value.<\/p>\n
