Suntou Susso

Step into an unforgettable evening with Suntou Susso, a captivating singer, performer and master of the kora – the 22-string West African harp whose sounds have enchanted listeners and carried the soul of Mandinka culture for over seven centuries. Born into a revered lineage of Gambian Griots: historians, storytellers and peacekeepers, Suntou is both a guardian of the tradition and a bold innovator of its future. Rooted in the ancient rhythms and spiritual depth of his heritage, Suntou’s music is a bridge between worlds.

​

Following three years of constant touring and creative exploration since the release of his debut album, Suntou has now released his highly anticipated second album, Jaliya Silokang – The Path of a Griot. Audiences can expect original compositions and reimagined traditional pieces, reflecting his evolved and elevated sound, grounded in ancestral wisdom yet alive with contemporary expression.

​

Touring songs from the latest album, these solo shows are more than performances; they are journeys into heritage, unity, belonging, ecology, and the dreams of ancestors and generations yet to come. His performances radiate humanity and virtuosic artistry.
