Catrin
Finch and Seckou Keita
Sunday 12th October 2014
Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury
Music for Change presents a unique collaboration
between two world-class musicians; Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and
Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita. Winners of the fRoots Album Of The
Year 2013, nominated for two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and featured in
Songlines Magazine's top ten albums of 2013, the sky is the limit for
this pair of virtuoso musicians whose 'heavenly music...intricately
realised' (Songlines) merges the boundaries between the genres of
classical, world, folk and traditional music.
The
harp occupies a vital place in the incredibly rich cultures of both
West Africa and Wales and, remarkably, both nations share a
centuries-old tradition of intricate oral history, expressed through
music, song and verse. Together, Finch and Keita have risen to the
tough challenge of blending two completely different musical cultures
and creating something truly beautiful and entirely new. Not to be
missed!
