The Lyrebird Festival is thrilled to welcome Senegalese Kora virtuoso Seckou Keita to the Megalong Valley.

A renowned master of his instrument, dubbed "the Hendrix of the kora", Seckou has captivated audiences throughout the world, including festival appearances at WOMAD, Hay, Glastonbury, Tokyo Jazz, Chicago World Music Festival, Sydney International, Montreal Jazz Festivals and more. Among numerous accolades, Seckou was named 'Musician Of The Year' in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards of 2019.

This solo recital features works from across Seckou's musical life, including his album '22 Strings', winner of Best Album - Africa and Middle East Category - in the Songlines Music Awards of 2022.

Seckou's dazzling playing, stunning voice and infectious joy on stage are not to be missed. This concert will sell-out so get in quick!

The event schedule allows for plenty of time moving between each location. All concerts and other events can be booked separately, or together with a Festival Pass. Pricing includes a 'Pay what you can' option. All concert tickets include a single beverage and nibbles.
