Guinean Kora virtuoso, singer and composer, Sekou Kouyate, who invented the electrified kora at the age of 12 – and went on to pioneer the sound with fast riffs, experimental distortions and rock and reggae-influenced playing.
His family band, Section Kora, impressed audiences and the press on their recent successful tours Scandinavia and Mexico – and they recorded this album during visits to Copenhagen in 2014 and 2015, with the guest star, Francis Kweku Osei for Ghana. Some of the songs are performed entirely by the multi instrumentalist Sekou Kouyate.
