Album Notes & Community Reviews

This breathtaking collaborative album pairs Malian kora master Ballak茅 Sissoko with French cellist Vincent S茅gal in a series of delicate, purely acoustic duets. Recorded in the studio of Salif Keita in Bamako, the pristine, unadulterated string arrangements effortlessly merge West African Mande traditions with European chamber music and jazz improvisation. The music exudes an incredibly peaceful, deeply conversational intimacy.
