Ablaye Cissoko live in London

Experience Ablaye Cissoko live on November 15th

Ablaye Cissoko will perform at Kings Place in London on November 15, 2026. Cissoko is a Senegalese kora player and vocalist whose music blends traditional West African griot traditions with contemporary influences, including jazz and blues. He is a direct descendant of a long line of renowned Senegalese musicians, carrying forward the oral history and musical legacy of his ancestors. His performances often feature intricate kora playing alongside vocals in Wolof, and frequently explore themes of spirituality, social commentary, and personal reflection.

Kings Place is a multi-art form venue situated in the Regent’s Canal area of King’s Cross, London. Opened in 2008, it was developed as part of the wider regeneration of the area and is housed within a former biscuit factory and warehouse complex. The building retains elements of its industrial past while incorporating modern architectural design. It features two primary performance spaces: Hall One, which has a capacity of 420 and is designed for classical and contemporary music performances; and Studio Two, a more intimate space suitable for smaller ensembles and events.
