THE FINALE OF FINALES
Saturday 7 November 2026 | 6PM–LATE
Fox & Firkin, Lewisham
🪕 HEADLINER: SUNTOU SUSSO & THE GAMBIAN SUPERSTARS
For the first time in the UK, internationally acclaimed kora maestro, singer-songwriter and composer Suntou Susso joins forces with his homegrown band, The Gambian Superstars, bringing the full force of their Gambian & Senegalese tour to London for the final night of their UK headline tour.
Born into the ancient Griot tradition of the Mandinka people, Suntou carries a lineage in which music is more than entertainment — it is history, memory, wisdom and transmission.
His 22-string kora speaks from a tradition stretching back 700 years, while his award-winning music reaches boldly into the future, fusing Afro-Manding roots with jazz, funk, soul and contemporary sounds.This is heritage alive.
🌴 SUPPORT: LAS CHANCHAS
The rising London trio bringing a fresh, fearless twist to Chicha and psychedelic cumbia.
Expect hypnotic tropical rhythms, infectious grooves and a whole lot of movement as Las Chanchas shake up the London Latin scene.
🪩 DJ MOUSSA 📀
French-Ivorian selector, cultural explorer and one half of Mamoussa.
🌋 AND THEN… THE AFTERPARTY
The live show runs 6PM–10:30PM
Once the Superstars leave the stage, the fiesta transforms into a late-night Afro-diasporic afterparty, with multiple DJs taking us through the night until morning.
