A really, really welcome return from the truly wonderful Suntou Susso - a multi-instrumentalist: kora player, percussionist, singer and composer from The Gambia. Born a Griot in the 700-year old tradition of the kora - a harp-lute with 22 strings unique to the Mandinka people. As part of this incredible musical tradition Suntou has a unique societal role as oral historian whilst transmitting and preserving a people's culture through the generations in song, music and poetry. Suntou's family includes some of the world's most highly respected West African musicians. His musical abilities are outstanding, perhaps unique for his generation. An in-demand and charismatic performer, tonight brings us original compositions and reimagined traditional pieces, reflecting his evolved and elevated sound, grounded in ancestral wisdom yet alive with contemporary expression.
'Extraordinary…enjoyable…mesmerised by the shimmering sounds'
A real and rare musical treat for all world music lovers. Suntou really is an astonishing musician and we’re both pleased and proud to bring him back for Prema for tonight’s summer solo show. Be sure to book good and early!
