22 Strings on LP

ARC Music is aptly releasing Seckou Keita's successful May 2015 album, 22 Strings on vinyl for an even more immersive experience. Seckou Keita has arguably become the most influential and inspiring kora player of his generation. From the Casamance area of Southern Senegal, Seckou was a childhood prodigy, uniquely descended from a line of griots and kings. Speaking with just kora and voice, this album asks the simple but urgent questions, Who am I? and Who are we? Upon it's initial release, 22 Strings received an avalanche of four and five stars reviews as well as extensive worldwide airplay. This album reached # 1 on the Amazon UK Hot New Releases chart and was listed by Songline as June 2015's Top of the World Album.
