by arrangement with the Sydney Festival

Dubbed 'the Hendrix of the kora', Seckou Keita and his quintet have been wowing audiences in Australia with visits to WOMADelaide, the Perth and Sydney Festivals, and now  Darwin. With performances packed full of the rhythmic vitality of his native Senegal, his music blends various African traditions with western classical music and jazz into a lively mix - 'Kora that rocks' as one critic said.
