Seckou has recently returned from touring Australia and has no other UK gigs planned this year…so don’t miss your chance to catch him in Canterbury!


 “ ...an inspired exponent of the Kora that makes the West African harp-lute sound like a small band”

Robin Denselow – Guardian

 
“Seckou Keita is a brilliant live performer with stacks of charisma, and one of the few champions of the less-known and rhythmically rocking kora repertoire from Casamance in southern Senegal where he is from”.

Lucy Duran – Radio BBC3
