Critic Consensus
Seckou Keita is 'Real Live Certified' and is in the top 10% of all live performers. Based on 8 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Seckou Keita is rated as a superb live performer, with remarkable shows that are worth watching.
It was the first London appearance of the celebrated young classical harpist Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita the finest British-based exponent of the African harp the kora.
He has constantly changed styles making use of anything from traditional Malian instrumentation to electronics and last year's album Tale was a low point with its attempted foray into the dance music market.
The album – ‘The Silimbo Passage’ – that the crew were launching has already had a 5 star review and I was desperately keen to see what this could become in a setting.
As piano prodigy OMAR SOSA takes to the stage with his kora-playing counterpart SECKOU KEITA, it feels as though the Philharmonic is turning over a new leaf, transforming its brick walls from a dull grey to technicolour.
