🪕 HEADLINER: SUNTOU SUSSO & THE GAMBIAN SUPERSTARS

For the first time in the UK, internationally acclaimed kora maestro, singer-songwriter and composer Suntou Susso joins forces with his homegrown band, The Gambian Superstars, bringing the full force of their Gambian & Senegalese tour to London for the final night of their UK headline tour.

Born into the ancient Griot tradition of the Mandinka people, Suntou carries a lineage in which music is more than entertainment — it is history, memory, wisdom and transmission.

His 22-string kora speaks from a tradition stretching back 700 years, while his award-winning music reaches boldly into the future, fusing Afro-Manding roots with jazz, funk, soul and contemporary sounds.This is heritage alive.

🌴 SUPPORT: LAS CHANCHAS

The rising London trio bringing a fresh, fearless twist to Chicha and psychedelic cumbia.

Expect hypnotic tropical rhythms, infectious grooves and a whole lot of movement as Las Chanchas shake up the London Latin scene.

🪩 DJ MOUSSA 📀

French-Ivorian selector, cultural explorer and one half of Mamoussa.

🌋 AND THEN… THE AFTERPARTY

The live show runs 6PM–10:30PM.

Once the Superstars leave the stage, the fiesta transforms into a late-night Afro-diasporic afterparty, with multiple DJs taking us through the night until morning.
