Performing on a variety of instruments from across the African continent, including the adungu (harp), endigidi (tube fiddle), ngoni (kora style) and a selection of drums including ngoma, djembe and talking drums.
Born in Uganda, Steven Kasamba started performing at an early age, specialising in folk music and dances using instruments like ngoma (drums), adungu (harp) and endigidi (fiddle). He is the founder and a director of Bantu Arts, a community organisation which specialises in promoting African arts.
Born in Burkina Faso, Aboubacar Konate is the eighth son in a family of praise singers (griots) of Dafing origin. Konate adapted his skills from Senufo, Senegalese and Fulani tribes to create his own repertoire with renowned instrument the Ngoni to create musical sounds of Mandingo and forest rhythms.

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is an inspiring, surprising, family-friendly, free attraction in South London’s Forest Hill. We’ve been open since Victorian times, when Frederick John Horniman first opened his house and extraordinary collection of objects to visitors. Since then, our collection has grown tenfold and includes internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, as well as an acclaimed aquarium, Butterfly House and natural history collection.
Unusually for such an important museum, you can see our collection up-close and face-to-face. You can even pick up, try on and play with some of our objects.
