'Seikou Susso and the Allahlake Band'
Seikou is the charismatic and amazing Kora (African Harp) player from the Gambia. Coming from a long line of griots - oral historians who have kept and promoted the history of the Mandinka cultures of West Africa - Seikou uses his music to provide the perfect ambience and authenticity of West Africa. His compositions are inspired by Mandinka culture, and his singing and playing style observes the delicacy and poise of the Gambian traditional repertoire. Seikou leads his decidedly funky AllahLake Band into potent and slowly simmering dance grooves. Seikou was the highly acclaimed guest at the Skye World Music weekend in 2005. Tonight's Young Musician is Ruby Partridge, Breakish.Date: 24/07/07
