Watch Kadialy Kouyate and Ylenia Tilli play kora and ground bass - Horniman Museum and Gardens

Watch a performance on the kora and ground bass from Kadialy Kouyate and Ylenia Tilli, performed at Hear it Live!

Kadialy Kouyate is a musician and singer-songwriter inspired by the West African Griot repertoire. Born into the great line of Kouyate Griots in Southern Senegal, Kadialy’s kora playing and singing style have been appreciated in many prestigious venues as both a soloist and in different ensembles.

Ylenia Tilli has been involved with the London music scene since 2012, initially as part of a hip hop and spoken word collective, eventually being more involved with jazz through organisations such as Tomorrow’s Warriors and WAC Arts Centre. Over the last couple of years they have been a regular bass player for Kadialy Kouyate and concentrated on musical and artistic development.

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.
