About this concert
The multi-award winning duo, Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and Senegalese kora maestro Seckou Keita have built a formidable global reputation since their partnership began in 2013.
They delivered a triumphant second album with SOAR in 2018, charting inspirational common ground between seemingly disparate traditions and their intoxicating, often improvised synergy captures a magical meeting of minds and talents within a borderless musical landscape.
Part of Global Sounds series with Music for Change

With a big African Heart, virtuoso Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita is not to be confined to any one genre, dipping comfortably in and out of jazz, classical, Flamenco, with sometimes hints of rock and reggae.

His superb musicianship, dexterity and diversity has transported audiences from any walk of life to places they had never imagined they would go.
