~~~ Biram Seck and AWALÉ trio ~~~
Senegalese singer and songwriter Biram Seck has a voice truly unique for its raw husky quality and deep emotion. With Kaw Secka on percussion and Thibaut Remy on guitar, the trio plays traditional senegalese folk music.

A firm favourite, after smashing our Shoreditch club-night in March, we had to get the man back to play again.

Expect to hear songs for the first time, from across the continents!
