Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal - Chamber Music

Kora player Ballaké Sissoko and French cellist Vincent Segal recorded this duet album in Bamako, and it is the string lover's pick. With no percussion and no singing, the two instruments trade melody and bass in quiet, intricate conversation, sitting somewhere between Malian tradition and European chamber music. Choose it for late-night, attentive listening.
