Præsentation

Sekou followed his fathers musical talent, toured and recorded with him, and was remarked for his innovative style of playing at an early age already.

Soon it became obvious that Sekou was not only a firm keeper of the Kora tradition, that he inherited from his father and uncles, but that he had a particular style of his own, open to inspiration from the contemporary music scene of the world.

During a tour to Europe, he asked his father for wha wha pedals to add to his Kora. His father finally agreed, and Sekous style became clearly unique, with the electric, distorted sound the pedals could add to the classical instrument.

Although often mentioned as “The Jimi Hendrix of the Kora”, due to his fast riffs and amazing sound, Sekou Kouyate is really one of a kind.

Sekou combines musical styles virtuously, and can blend in any style of music, lifting and beautifying the melodies, with funky rhythms or complex melodies with a deep, spiritual feeling.
