About the event
From See Tickets's listing
Soulful vocals, shimmering kora melodies and complex rhythmic Malian guitar in this special collaboration. An innovative and refreshing approach to creativity that will take listeners and audiences on a journey through West Africa, grounded with traditions full of joyful melodic vibes in a setting celebrating friendship and culture. Manding Melody features Mali's redoubtable troubadour and guitarist Habib Koite and the charismatic Gambian kora maestro and singer Sura Susso, presenting their newly recorded intergenerational, cross-cultural project which celebrates the powerful 'griot' narratives of traditional Manding folk tales and stories, told through modern musical styles. West Africa's griots (in Mandinka language known as Jeli) are traditional storytellers, poets, historians, musicians, and praise singers. They maintain and share traditions, cultural heritage, values and history. They originated in the 13th century within the Mande Empire of Mali. Since then, the oral tradition has been handed down through specific Manding griot families (in Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea) of which both Sura and Habib were born into. Traditional instruments used by griots include the kora, balafon and ngoni. Manding Melody highlights some of these instruments, intertwined with contemporary musical instruments and styles. The result is a blend that refreshes and revives ancient stories and musical traditions.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Manchester: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
