Catrin Finch & Seckou Keita

★★★★ Echo BENDIGEDIC. CD/DL

More harps, this time from Wales and West Africa, on the third outing for this dream duo, the cautious blend that comprised their initial meeting now left behind as the pair and their 69-strings (plus an actual string septet) urge each other on to sublime heights. Tunes of hope but also post-lockdown Echo-es “of dear ones now departed”.
