Cora player and Griot, Basiru Suso from Gambia and singer songwriter, Inga Thommessen are an international duo based in Odense, Denmark. Their worlds meet through the universal language of music where they sing about issues like tolerance, equality, communication and love.

 

Journalist, Elisabeth Rubinfien, from Palo Alto, California writes:

“The duo of Basiru Suso and Inga Thommessen is enchanting in its rich combination of voices and string insruments. The airy flights of Inga`s soprano interweave with Basiru`s deep baritone into something quite magical and more than the sum of its parts. The cora – seems to sound at various times like a harp, or a koto – and again like the musician's voices, the interplay of the guitar and cora seems to express wordlessly the power of building bridges across cultures. For anyone who enjoys “folk” music, but is looking for music that is more than “folk” music, in its elements, listening to this duo, will be a new pleasure.
