A bit of Googling, and a bit of delving suggest they are here
A shared musical journey between two world class virtuosos. From Wales, the "Queen of Harps" (Classic FM Magazine) and from West Africa, "an inspired exponent of the kora" (The Guardian). The harp occupies a vital place in the rich cultures of both Senegal and Wales.and both nations share a centuries-old bardic tradition of intricate oral history, expressed through music, song and verse.
Perhaps a fund raising concert at Dyfi?

A bit more about Seckou Keita, from Casamance, south Senegal. Catrin Finch was the first Royal Harpist, to Prince Charles in the early 2000s.
Catrin Finch is a very talented musician, her harp transcription of Bach's Goldberg Variations (originally written for harpsichord but usually played on the piano) was excellent. Ian
I have just checked out YouTube for the piece you referred to. Brilliant! and so relaxing too.
Sheila, I'm glad that you like it. Ian
How about a musical recording from them both for the 2018 Dyfi 'ringing' video? :)
A little bit about their joint project of playing together, here
Pity I don't live nearer! Here are details of the fund-raising concert Catrin Finch & Seckou Keita will perform in April, at Dyfi OP. Limited tickets, so put your orders in pdq!
