These are statues of traditional musicians here. Any time there is a wedding, a christening or other big celebration musicians like these will be called to come and play. These are located just to one side of Arch 22 at the entrance to Banujul.
According to Wikipedia, "Serrekunda (or Serekunda) is the largest city in The Gambia, lying southwest of Banjul. Its population as of 2006, was 335,733 people. Although Banjul is The Gambia's capital, it is on an island and cannot grow further, making much of the growth in Serrekunda."
I like these lovely gold statues.
