Always with a simple and joyful goal in mind: that his music may touch the body and the soul.
Together, they take us on a spiritual and intimate journey, during which Ablaye Cissoko's soft velvet voice adds an extra mystical dimension. But it is about more than just music: it is a story of friendship and deep respect for each other, the unprecedented encounter between two instruments and two artists with constantly renewed universes.
