Suntou Susso – The Future is Ancestral solo tour

An Intimate Evening with the Kora

Step into an unforgettable evening with Suntou Susso, a captivating singer, performer and master of the kora – the 22-string West African harp whose sounds have enchanted listeners and carried the soul of Mandinka culture for over seven centuries. Born into a revered lineage of Gambian Griots: historians, storytellers and peacekeepers, Suntou is both a guardian of the tradition and a bold innovator of its future. Rooted in the ancient rhythms and spiritual depth of his heritage, Suntou’s music is a bridge between worlds.

Following three years of constant touring and creative exploration since the release of his debut album, Suntou returns with the highly anticipated second album to be released in November. Audiences can expect original compositions and reimagined traditional pieces, reflecting his evolved and elevated sound, grounded in ancestral wisdom yet alive with contemporary expression.
