Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita

This event has passed. Seckou Keita returns to the Howard Assembly Room on Thursday 7 November 2024.

We’re very excited to welcome back multi-award-winning duo Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita as they join us to celebrate the release of their third album ECHO. They bring an extraordinary musical partnership that combines Wales and Senegal, harp and kora, the classical and traditional, different cultures and common humanity.  

The harp and kora share centuries of history, and Catrin and Seckou create a unique dialogue in a musical alliance of rare empathy, inspired by differences and similarities. Their atmospheric magic crosses genre boundaries, from folk and world to classical and contemporary as their fingers flow like opposing tributaries into a single river of sound. 

“an emotional demonstration of how two virtuoso musicians triumphantly bring different cultures together”
