About this concert
Here, the kora is backed with the dynamic, uplifting and at times hypnotic rhythms of bass, percussion, drums, keyboard and extraordinary vocals, that lifts the audience to its feet and leaves them buzzing!
The group includes one of Senegal's best known vocalists, Korka Dieng. Korka has performed with one of Senegal's finest rappers, Didier Awadi. She is well known for her versatility and distinctive vocals.
Joining them too is Moustapha Gaye, lead guitarist for Youssou n'Dour, who toured with Seckou in 2012 and features on his album 'Miro'. 'Homeland', the album will be released in 2024, and will produced by Seckou Keita and Moussa N’Gom.
