Seckou Keita & the Homeland Band
SECKOU KEITA is a rare and compelling figure in West African music: a DJEMBE MASTER, innovative composer, and virtuoso player of the KORA (West African harp-lute). Hailing from Guinea, Keita carries the ancient legacy of the Griot tradition-the historians, poets, and PRAISE SINGERS of the Mandé people-and redefines it for a modern audience.
As a masterful instrumentalist, Keita is hailed globally for his phenomenal technical ability, seamlessly blending the deep-rooted sounds of his heritage with modern compositions. He is a PIONEER whose artistry moves beyond mere performance; it is a profound celebration of his homeland, delivered with a contagious energy and musicality that is simply world-class. Supported by the HOMELAND BAND, Seckou Keita offers an exhilarating, passionate, and unforgettable journey into the heart of African rhythm and melody.
