When Ablaye Cissoko?s kora caresses the breaths of Cyrille Brotto?s accordion, an invisible bridge is built between the age-old orality of the griots and the vibrant momentum of popular music.
One, a poet and guardian of Senegalese memories, makes his kora sing as one speaks to an ancestor or a child, and his angelic voice resonates with emotion. The other, an explorer of diatonic sounds, weaves subtle layers with his accordion, somewhere between breathing, dancing and secrecy. Together, they build a music of the moment, free and fragile, that breathes listening, trust and purity.
This rare duo is an invitation to slowness, beauty and harmony. Music from within, that awakens what unites rather than separates. And it is the praise of the encounter that is at stake here: that of cultures, timbres, silences and shared paths.
More than a concert, this exceptional evening will be like a suspended moment, a confidence between two souls who understand each other without the need for words
In partnership with Testa Duende as part of the MaliBa festival.
For all ages 12 and up
Running time: 1h15
Reservations at Espace Marc-Sangnier, Tuesday to Friday, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm
