Seckou Keita - African Rhapsodies

#605 — Seckou Keita & orchestral threads

The main focus today is Senegalese royalty, the kora player Seckou Keita who now mostly lives in the UK. He's had many collaborations in recent years, such as with Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and pianist Omar Sosa. He's become increasingly interested in orchestral strings which are dominant in his latest release. You'll pick an orchestral thread through many items in today's musical attire too.
