Suntou Susso’s music brings nothing but good vibes; combining the rich, traditional sound of West-African Mandinka culture with Afro jazz and soul.
Expect an intimate, energetic and life-affirming show as Suntou Susso and his band take you on multiple journeys: to the sunshine of Africa; his culture; and through the album’s messages of love, peace, equality and persistence in the face of adversity.
Celebrated across Africa and Europe, Suntou is a multi-instrumentalist: kora player, percussionist, singer and composer from The Gambia.
The kora is a 22 stringed harp-lute, a rare and enchanting instrument.
Born into the 700-year-old Griot tradition, Suntou performs his role as a historian, storyteller, and unifier of people through song, everywhere he goes and every time he gets on stage.
