The singer Seinabo Sey spent time growing up in Sweden and in Gambia. Her mother was Swedish and her father was a well-known Gambian musician. She has paid tribute to each of them with her first two EPs: For Madeleine and For Maudo. Her music has had considerable success in Europe and in clubs world-wide with many remixes. Today she tells how her upbringing has influenced her music and we get to hear exclusive live performances. In Stockholm, as a part of our Sense of Place visit, we had the wonderful opportunity to go on a walk to see sites that were important in Seinabo’s life. See a video at Worldcafe.tumblr.com.
