Ablaye Cissoko on kora and Cyrille Brotto on diatonic accordion bring together the ancestry of Senegalese griots and popular music in an intimate, contemplative dialogue. More than a concert, it is a meeting of cultures, timbres and silences, without the need for words.

Synopsis When Ablaye Cissoko's kora meets the breath of Cyrille Brotto's accordion, a bridge rises between the ancestry of Senegalese griots and the living pulse of popular music. Poet and guardian of Senegal's memory, Cissoko makes the kora an extension of his voice, in a dialogue of rare intimacy and emotional depth. Brotto, explorer of the possibilities of the diatonic accordion, responds with subtle textures, where breath, movement and mystery meet. Together, they create free and delicate music, built on listening, trust and simplicity. A meeting of cultures, timbres and silences that invites slowness and contemplation. More than a concert, it is a dialogue between two musicians who, without the need for words, find a common language.
