Basiru Suso plays the Cora, which has been a part of the African music culture for more than 600 years, a 21 string body and neck instrument sounding similar to a harp. In the past the instrument was used for social cellebrations such as weddings and christenings. The Griot is the name of an African cora musician and storyteller and an important advisor for the kings and priests.

Basiru Suso received his initial teachings from The Griots of the Suso family in Gambia and continued his musical studies at Institut National des Arts in Bamako, Mali.

Basiru came to Denmark in 1997 and has played with renowned musicians such as Jorge Degas, Palle Mikkelborg, Moussa Diallo...
