Suntou Susso [Kora/West African Music]
About this event
Suntou Susso presents an evening of kora and West African music at Peggy's Skylight. Born into a revered Gambian Griot family, Susso is both a guardian of the ancient kora tradition and a contemporary innovator. The 22-string harp carries centuries of Mandinka history, spirituality and storytelling through his hands.
This solo performance showcases music from his acclaimed album Jaliya Silokang – The Path of a Griot, alongside new compositions and reimagined traditional pieces. Susso's approach explores themes of ancestry, belonging, ecology and resilience, combining the shimmering strings of the kora with his expressive voice. The evening offers an immersive musical experience that engages both body and heart, blending ancient knowledge with contemporary creativity.
