The name Vedaki (or Vershki da
Koreshki) is made up of Sprouts (Vershki: based upon traditional musical
inspirations) and Roots (Koreshi: modern jazz and improvisation). Ever since its
foundation in 1994, Vedaki consists of two musicians from St. Petersburg and two
musicians that are resident in the Netherlands, but
are originally from Senegal and India. Vedaki's key word is improvisation. The
musicians from St. Petersburg will enter into a profound musical debate with,
for the audience, unfamiliar musical inspiration from Africa and India.

Senegal) - vocals, kongoma, m'bira, xalam
