SautiKano
https://www.instagram.com/sautikano
A musical fusion with a core of experienced performers from across the world comprising: Ivan Toolit – lead vocals (Uganda), Njega Sohna- African drums (The Gambia), Seikou Sussou – Master Kora Player (The Gambia), Ben Somers – Double Bass (UK) Liz Lenten – guitar and harmonies (UK).
Ivan was a young boy in a war-torn Uganda. The war eventually reached his town, resulting in his parents being killed when he was just 4 years, leaving Ivan to survive on the streets, on his own. SautiKano tells his story – through song, music and dance, describing the fears, loss, struggles, ingenuity, hopes, dreams and his travels half way around the planet in search of love, security and opportunity.
This is a tale of displacement, resilience, survival, tragedy and the healing power of music…
