Max Baillie and Suntou Susso

Kora master meets violin virtuoso

Coinciding with the release of his debut album Kanéfonyo (Never Give Up) Gambian kora player Suntou Susso is touring the UK this year in various (mostly folk-oriented) venues. One of the earliest of his shows was a concert in St John’s Church, St Leonards on 26 March, where an enthusiastic audience listened in awe to the extraordinary sounds Susso could conjure from this instrument. Victoria Kingham praises this remarkable kora maestro who is coming back to play in St Leonards at the end of April.
