Unto us is born a Griot!!!! 

 

With influences from Senegal, Mali, to Mauritania, Guinea, Niger, and Morocco, Diabel blows in on a mighty trade wind of rhythmically, lyrically and melodically diverse music  with strong roots in the blues, alongside the traditional Mandinkan melodies of his griot ancestry. At the centre of it all is his dynamic

and wondrous mastery of the Kora and his voice which alternately caresses your soul and  and seizes your very heart with its fierce urgency.

Kora rings...are you listening??

He's joined today by blues harp player Joff Watkins, Lewisham gut bucket blues harp ace. 

Hark the herald angels blow!!!

 

‘The Cissokho family have the benefit of a deep culture that goes back to the Middle ages where music occupies a central, life affirming position in society, along with a 21st century youthful dynamism that defies the world to ignore them. Groove, melody and soul.....voices hitting you like an Atlantic wave, it’s irresistible.’ Justin Adams
