Les Frères Guissé

Les Frères Guissé hail from Futa Tooro, the region along the Senegal River in northern Senegal, and they carry with them a remarkable wealth of musical styles. There, music is bound up with people’s daily lives, with history and the local economy, and it runs deep with spiritual meaning and symbolism. That rich musical landscape is the source of their own folk songwriting. In stunning vocal harmonies sung in Pulaar (Fula), they take on the issues of today: AIDS, the oppression of women, the struggles facing farmers. With Djiby and Cheikh on vocals and acoustic guitar, you’re in for an unforgettable evening.
