On Ballaké Sissoko’s new album, Djourou, the Malian kora player chose diverse artists, removed from his own musical traditions – and transforms each collaboration into a moving partnership, highlighting the deep ties that bind us – a moving and excellent album.
Ballaké Sissoko’s latest single ‘Kora’ (out now on No Format) sees him partner with Frech singer Camille for a love letter to the kora. The single arrives with a performance video shot in Paris’ Bois de Vincennes park.
Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko shares the title track of his new album Djourou on which he is joined by leading female kora player Sona Jobarte, from The Gambia. A poetic duet.
Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko is set to release his new album “Djourou” on April 09, 2021 via NØ FØRMAT featuring Camille, Feu! Chatterton, Oxmo Puccino, Patrick Messina, Piers Faccini, Salif Keita, Sona Jobarteh and Vincent Segal.
