About
A combination of duets and solos, both artists record some of their most personal compositions and arrangements in an expansive and loving journey of West African songcraft. Originally paired and programmed by Globe Director of Music Bill Barclay, Jegede and Gripper’s duet concert was the only performance in the John Williams series that the great guitar master, feeling he had nothing he could add, sat out to enjoy entirely as a listener.
‘ ...wholly enjoyable, quite outstanding, an entrancing sound, a kind of ecstatic tingling in the ear underlay almost everything that was played’ - The Independent on Tunde Jegede
‘Absolutely impossible until I heard Derek Gripper do it.’ - John Williams
‘Gripper has brilliantly transferred the kora repertoire onto a regular six string guitar. He sees Toumani Diabaté as the Segovia, or indeed John Williams, of the kora, championing it as a solo instrument and ingeniously taking it back to the guitar. He’s opening a whole new repertoire of classical guitar music... bringing African guitar into the classical mainstream. This beautiful acoustic space [Shakespeare’s Globe’s candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse] makes you hold your breath and focus in a way you never do in an amplified concert. You put more in and get more out. For everyone it was a revelation.’ - Simon Broughton, Songlines Magazine
