Jess Gillam is joined by Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita to swap some of their favourite music. Nicknamed 'the Hendrix of the Kora', Seckou has worked with a wide variety of people over the years including Damon Albarn and the Africa Express; Welsh harpist Catrin Finch; Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and the BBC Concert Orchestra. This week Seckou shares with Jess his love for Albinoni's Adagio, the music of Fela Sowande, a beautiful Spell Song and the exciting new sounds of Faada Freddy, whilst Jess is offering up some classic Ella Fitzgerald, Strum by Jessie Montgomery and music by Saint-Saens and Mussorgsky.
