Amadou Diagne has centuries of West African music at his fingertips. Cory Seznec is a musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist. A chance encounter while busking in the streets of Bath planted the seeds of a collaboration that’s been fermenting now for over a decade. Life embarked them on different touki (journey in Wolof, Amadou’s mother tongue), but thanks to the support of Arts Council England those seedlings are shooting up into the light. Following Touki’s album Right of Passage (released in 2020) they are excited to be releasing their sophomore record, Plastic Man, at the end of 2023. Both albums were recorded at Peter Gabriel’s legendary Real World Studios.

Touki

Sunday 8th October 19:30

This is music that asks ecological, spiritual, and political questions drawing together West African fables, personal stories and social, economic and political challenges.

Volcano Theatre – Ar Lan y Môr

Tuesday 29 August 19:30

Rhiannon’s grandmother is one of the last residents living on the street, on Pembrokeshire’s seafront. Of the 19 houses there, 15 are holiday homes.

Mam-gu sits by the window in the parlour. The tide is turning. The people disappear.

What does the future hold for the street? What does the future hold for west and north Wales coastal areas? What is the impact of holiday homes on local language and culture? What are the personal difficult decisions involved?

Rhiannon Mair gives voice to some of these issues in a Welsh-language performance. With the help of stones, she will combine multi-layered storytelling through language and body.

The audience is invited to stay for a cuppa and informal chat after the performance.

Nb Performance is in Welsh – English translation sheets will be available.
