Seckou Keita and Suntou Susso
Magic happens when these brothers, from Senegal and Gambia respectively, take to the stage. Seckou is nicknamed “the Hendrix of the Kora”, and Suntou’s work is described as an “explosion of sound”.
Outstanding kora players, electrifying percussionists, and charismatic performers, they superbly combine their centuries-old griot lineage with contemporary experience of collaborating with jazz, folk, pop, soul and classical musicians from around the world. Seckou’s new album African Rhapsodies is being released in May 2023. His younger brother Suntou released his first sell-out album Kanefonyo in 2022.
