Kemba Sussoko

Biography:
Kemba Sussoko began learning to play the Mandinka's Kora at eight.

He is the equivalent at the European troubadour. Kemba is a griot vocalist who also plays the kora, a half-gourd with a neck with 21 strings, tense as a harp. The songs he plays are almost all traditional and meant as tribute to rulers or deceased, or for special family.
