Coreysan is a Trinidad born singer/songwriter, musician and producer based in Bristol.
His Alternative Caribbean Music is a fusion of groovy downtempo, dark dub, smokey chill-out, mystical eastern elements and sensual electronic beats combined with a Trinidadian (Caribbean) flavour and complemented with raspy and poetic, thought provoking vocals. It was once described as dark and nourishing.
As a session musician (bassist and vocalist), Corey has performed with various bands in the UK and Trinidad and Tobago and continues to perform with Calypso Rose on her world tours. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100028195826587
Suntou is a multi-instrumentalist. A kora player, percussionist, singer and composer from The Gambia. An in-demand and charismatic performer, he attracted attention as soon as he arrived on the UK music scene in 2012.
Born a Griot in a 700-year old tradition, Suntou also fulfills a unique societal role as oral historian, transmitting and preserving his people’s culture like his ancesters before him in song, music and poetry. His main intrustment, the kora - a harp-lute with 22 strings - is unique to the Griots of the Mandinka people.
Suntou’s family includes some of the world’s most well-respected West African musicians. His musical abilities are outstanding, perhaps unique for his generation. https://www.facebook.com/suntoususso
