Album Notes & Community Reviews

A historic, entirely acoustic collaboration uniting Iranian kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor and the legendary Malian kora master Toumani Diabat茅. The record consists entirely of spontaneous, cross-cultural improvisation, establishing a breathtaking dialogue between two vastly different classical traditions. It serves as a deeply spiritual, profoundly warm testament to the universal communicative power of instrumental music.
