CATRIN FINCH & SECKOU KEITA

A MWLDAN PRODUCTION

 

Music for the soul from this sublime duo The harp occupies a vital place in the incredibly rich cultures of both West Africa and Wales, and both nations share a centuries-old bardic tradition of intricate oral history, expressed through music, song and verse. Following a chance collaboration in 2012, Welsh harpist Catrin Finch, and Senegalese Kora virtuoso Seckou Keita, have been creating music that not only champions these exquisite instruments, but blends elements of new and old music from the Western Classical, Celtic and Senegalese song traditions; revealing a striking common thread between different cultures and times.

Inspire and awaken the spirit with extraordinary music from this multi-award-winning duo, winners of Best Group/ Duo at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2019.
