Seckou Keita Homeland Band at Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts

Seckou Keita Homeland Band at Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts logo

Award-winning kora sensation Seckou Keita will be back on the road in 2025 with his Homeland band, an all-star line-up of Senegalese musicians, for a joyous and explosive live show!

Seckou Keita is a renowned Kora virtuoso who stands as a luminary amongst African traditional musicians. Hailing from Southern Senegal, he has a discography boasting 15 critically-acclaimed albums and a collection of prestigious awards, including multiple BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

With this show, Seckou’s magical 22-string kora is perfectly integrated into an electrifying set which often bursts into euphoric, percussive dance tracks infused with infectious rhythms. This show will move the audience emotionally and physically through a unique crossover sound, embracing Senegalese music, afro-pop, urban and hip-hop. Transitional musical poetry written and delivered by award-winning poets is beautifully woven into the music, making this a one-of-a- kind live experience.
