Senegalese griot Ablaye Cissoko is part of a new generation of artists from his home country and is one of the most famous kora players in the world. Also a gifted singer, he brings Mandinka traditions into various global roots music, jazz and even classical and Baroque music universes. This collaboration with the well-known French diatonic accordion player Cyrille Brotto is both a waltz between two cultures and a graceful conversation between two master instrumentalists.
“…masterful collaborations of kora and accordion.”
