A wonderful evening of music yesterday at the National Concert Hall with the ever reliable Rhiannon Giddens, accompanied by her long time collaborator Francesco Turrisi and Senegalese kora player and singer Seckou Keita.
A very different setlist from what she usually plays, this was mostly songs that allowed Keita's kora (it's an instrument similar to harp) to blend in seamlessly. Some traditional American roots/bluegrass tunes, a couple of songs from Keita's discography, a traditional Italian, and in the end The Cliffs of Moher.
