Seckou Keita recording with the BBC Concert Orchestra
Broadcast

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, and you'll pick an orchestral thread in a few items in today's musical attire too.
