Renowned Kora virtuoso Seckou Keita stands as a luminary amongst African traditional musicians.

Dubbed “the Hendrix of the Kora”, Seckou’s innovative approach and exceptional skill pushes the boundaries of what the instrument can achieve. With 14 critically-acclaimed albums cumulating over 25 million streams on Spotify alone, and a collection of prestigious awards, including multiple BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, he has left an indelible mark on the music scene.

After the success of ‘African Rhapsodies’, Seckou returns to his roots with his new album ‘Homeland’, due to be released in October 2024 by Hudson Records. Joined on stage by a seven-piece electric Senegalese band, Keita explores identity, and questions the very idea of home, influenced by his own relationship with his adoptive UK homeland and his native Senegal.
