Suntou Susso
The Fox and Firkin, SE13 6JZ , [Venue Details]Suntou Susso with The Gambian Superstars – The Path of a Griot Album Tour
As part of Folk Tales’ first Afro-Latin Fiesta, the Fox Gambian Kora maestro Suntou Susso will headline the night with his full band, featuring very special guests for an unmissable show of pure joy and feel-good energy.
Suntou Susso – a virtuoso kora player, singer-songwriter and composer from The Gambia living in the UK – was born into the Griot tradition. Fresh from releasing his multi-award-winning second album, Jaliya Silokang – The Path of a Griot, Suntou 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 musicians, performing together in the UK for the very first time. Collectively, they’ll be bringing the mind-blowing musicianship and authentic sunshine energy of 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. Whilst this is an ancient role, Suntou’s latest album explores this role in a contemporary, global context. Drawing on his own experiences as well as the wisdom of elders and youth alike, the album is a journey into heritage and a hopeful vision for what lies ahead.
