Jali Bakary Konteh & Sarah Deere Jones

Jali Bakary Konteh is a London-based kora master from a legendary lineage of West African Griots who is carrying forward Gambia's rich kora tradition and adding his own innovations along the way.

Sarah Deere-Jones' classical training has lead to her dazzling arrangements of traditional and original music for voice and harp, establishing her as one of the foremost harp performers in the UK.

Their combined musical experience creates a unique cultural fusion of soothing Celtic and English tunes and songs on harp, weaving around the hypnotic rhythms and sparkling African sound of the kora.
