Amadou Diagne & Cory Seznec Touki - Plastic Man

Touki’s sound infuses East and West African styles and traditions with Appalachian banjo, folk motifs, and orchestral arrangements. Amadou Diagne’s powerful percussion, Cory Seznec’s guitar-picking and rapid-fire banjo-frailing, and French strings wizard Marius Pibarot’s cello-grooves provide a rhythmic foundation, while vocals, kora and violins add beautiful texture and emotional depth.

Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, Touki’s latest album, Plastic Man , focuses on climate change, environmental activism and spirituality, drawing together West African fables, personal stories and the social, economic and political challenges facing both developing countries and western ones. This is music that asks ecological, spiritual, and political questions. Join Touki on an unforgettable musical journey.
