In 1990, he was invited to England to record the album entitled Mboob Mbalahal, meaning Mboob playing the drum.

Since his first trip to England with Ifang Bondi, Musa has continued working as a cultural ambassador promoting Gambian music both in the Gambia and in the UK and Europe.

As of 2009, he is touring and recording with Alan Skidmore & Ubizo, 2 tracks on latest album “50 Journeys”, and collaborating with Ousman Beyai (former Ifang Bondi member) band named “Xam Xam”.
