Suntou Susso - a virtuoso kora player, singer-songwriter and composer from The Gambia was born into the Griot tradition. Fresh from releasing his award-winning second album, Jaliya Silokang - The Path of a Griot.

He and his band are bringing his exciting new music to you. Suntou’s compositions are rooted in the Afro-Manding and Griot musical tradition with influences from folk, funk, jazz and soul. He is joined by a powerhouse lineup of Gambian musicians, performing together in the UK for the very first time.

Collectively, they’ll be bringing mindblowing musicianship and authentic sunshine energy straight from the Smiling Coast of Africa.

Griots play an important cultural role as peacekeepers, advisors and oral historians, transmitting teachings and preserving a people's culture using song, music and poetry.
