It is an extraordinary 13th album for Seckou Keita, tireless defender of the kora, with 80 concerts a year around the world and millions of streams. In African Rhapsodies, the Senegalese combines the 22 strings of his Mandinka harp-lute with a European symphony orchestra. In the company of the BBC Concert Orchestra, one of the most versatile in the United Kingdom, he fuses African and Western music in ten radiant titles.
