		Sekou Keita (Senegal/ UK) Nominated by Katie Musson, Edinburgh: 'A brilliant new talent in kora playing - having played with Baka Beyond he now has his own band and has brought out a wonderful new album "Baiyo". Saw him at Edinburgh festival and his performance was electrifying! A fantastic personality too and a great advertisement for the kora and for Senegalese music.'
