AKA Trio is the result of 12 years of friendship between three world-renowned virtuosos: Italian guitarist, Antonio Forcione; Senegalese kora player; Seckou Keita; and Brazilian percussionist, Adriano Adewale. “Three musicians who were meant and destined to play together” as suggested by Songlines.

AKA Trio are back on tour this autumn to share intense, spiritual and resolutely warm acoustic music that transcends musical styles and genres. They will showcase highlights from their critically acclaimed album Joy, a collection of “free-flowing songs and instrumentals dazzle with a rich musical, almost monastic, minimalism where less actually does mean more” (Morning Star)  as well as new  compositions.

With each performance, AKA Trio takes us on a fabulous journey through Africa, Europe and South America with awe-inspiring, joyful and uplifting performances as well as incredible moments of improvisation.

Performance time approx. 2 hours including interval.
