From Mandinka sagas to Persian court music!

A conversation between the Senegalese kora of Ablaye Cissoko and the setar (long-necked Iranian lute) of Kiya Tabassian, the viola da gamba played by Pierre-Yves Martel and Patrick Graham’s percussion. The compositions reflect the deep complicity that has united these musicians since they began performing together all over the world.
A lush universe inhabited by the memory of the ancestors, but also filled with real and imaginary places in which anyone would dream of finding themselves. We board this musical and enchanting vessel with great pleasure.

Recorded at the Festival Des Détours de Babel on March 17th, 2019
