Not only me, but also people close to me, when I see them with their friends. Actually, the real meaning of kharit is ‘my other half’ or ‘the half cut from me’. Khar means something you’ve cut, or that has been cut from you. You can’t buy or create that. It can only happen naturally. Friendship can build love, family, marriage, even a whole neighbourhood.”- SECKOU KEITA Omar Sosa - piano, percussion, backing vocals (website https://omarsosa.com) Seckou Keita - kora, lead vocal, talking drum (website https://seckoukeita.com) Gustavo Ovalles - calabash, maracas, hi-hat, culo’e puya PRESS AND MEDIA: U.K. / Rest of World: bendigedig@mwldan.co.uk France: mdc@music-mdc.com North America: music@melodia.com Label: bendigedig (website https://bendigedig.org)
