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