His highly distinctive blend of African and Cuban percussion styles has been highly demanded from other bands; He has also been bringing this flavour to the Seckou Keita Quintet (SKQ) since 2004 – touring worldwide & performing at festivals and events such as Montreal Jazz Festival, The Hay Festival, WOMAD International Music Festivals. He plays all percussive instruments on his debut album Silakang released in 2011. Sura has led the delivery of numerous educational projects, leading workshops in schools, art centres and community organisations. He’s a generous, patient and incredibly energetic teacher. ‘His contagious enthusiasm, outstanding talent as well as his expansive knowledge of rhythms had his students fully engaged, challenged, and loving the workshops.’ (City Arts, 2011)
