»The Jimi Hendrix of Africa« Sekou Kouyate is a renowned Kora-player, a free radical with one leg planted into the tradition of his homeland Guinea. The other travels out and about into modern music from all over the globe. Kouyate has been an all-consuming and inquisitive soul in his quest to usher Kora music into the future. He blends jazz with classical music blues and soul, while harboring complex movements evoked by his velveteen vocal pipes.
Sekou's accompanying trio is comprised of three finnest Slovenian musicians with long list of international collaborations and homeland productions.
