Amadou comes from a long family line of West African Griot percussionists and praise singers and before coming to Bristol was a full time member of L’Orchestre National du Senegal. He is much in demand on the world music scene and has appeared on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction.

A Touki performance is a tour de force in multi-instrumental musical exultation, during which the musicians joyously switch between koras, banjos, guitars, percussion and other instruments, deploying powerful beats, driving grooves, and silky voices that leap from East to West Africa and across to America. The influences are many, and rather than remaining in any one tradition, the Touki - the musical voyage itself - is the destination.

Following the Jazz Club tradition concert goers are invited to bring their own refreshments and drink. There will be no bar this evening.
