Overview

This concert is a unique journey through African Classical Music and the Griot Tradition from the ancient to the modern. Led by the composer and kora player Tunde Jegede, the concert features the extraordinary singer Muhamed Saho, Balafon virtuoso Yusupha Suso and the young gifted guitarist and bassist Ansumana Suso. 

Set up by Tunde Jegede, the African Classical Music Ensemble embodies the last of the old code of griots and was formed to celebrate ancient African musical traditions with its distinct acoustic classical sound.
