Dembo Konte & Kausu Kuyateh

Dembo Konte (or Konté) & Kausu Kuyateh are master kora players from the Gambia and Senegal. They are also singers and, above all, jalis; storytellers and guardians of oral tradition, preserving the history of people and events via their music. Usually performing as a duo, Konte (from The Gambia) and Kuyateh (from Senegal) have also collaborated with British musicians to create a fusion of West African and western musical styles, retaining the kora and their voices as the primary centres of attention.
