Description
This is a story of friendship and music. In 2009, the kora player Ballaké Sissoko and the cellist Vincent Segal decided to make an album that would capture the musical conversations they had been weaving together over the years. Recorded in Salif Keita s studio in Bamako, Chamber Music was universally acclaimed and went on to sell 50,000+ copies worldwide. In the UK Ballaké and Vincent appeared live on BBC 2's Culture Show and played at the Barbican, the South Bank, and regional dates, with Ballaké later coming back for a Making Tracks tour and an appearance on Later... with Jools. Six years after Chamber Music, the partnership between the two men has continued to blossom and grow, nourished by their years of pilgrimage together. Now their friendship resonates louder than ever on Musique de Nuit. Two souls, united by a sense of freedom and momentum, that seem to melt and find echoes of Manding, Baroque, Brazilian and Gypsy in each other. This freedom is the sound of two musicians, who are masters of their own instrument, artistry and tradition, who are able to transcend all that to concentrate on every breath, every sound, their own dialogue, and to put all their attention onto the beauty of the moment. Sheltered from the horrors of modern life, Musique de Nuit celebrates all that is poetry in the world.
