Synopsis

Album Description
Drawing together musicians from Senegal, Italy, Egypt and The Gambia, this band has become a real international treasure. Led by the experimental tunings and virtuoso kora of Seckou Keita, also called "the Hendrix of the Kora"- the music is supported by the double bass/electric bass eclectic percussions and the distinguished sound of the violin. The enchanting voice of the gracious Binta Susso is the newest addition to the band's live appearances; bringing new colours to their already amazing sound.

"Seckou Keita SKQ "The Silimbo Passage" (2008)



This is the third album by the Seckou Keita Quintet, a lively group based in the UK, featuring kora player and Senegalese-born singer Seckou Keita, female vocalist Binta Suso and Egyptian violinist Samy Bishai. This album is lulling and relaxed, in keeping with the best West African kora music. Definitely worth checking out! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)"
