Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal - Chamber Music

Captured over two nocturnal sessions at Salif Keita's Moffou studio in Bamako in 2009, this sublime duet album pairs Ballake Sissoko's luminous kora with French cellist Vincent Segal. Stripped of percussion, the two acoustic string instruments weave intricate, counterpointed dialogues that blur the boundaries between Malian tradition and European classical chamber music.
