"evoking lazy summer days, snuggly Sunday mornings and Balearic sunsets"

"If some gentle, contemplative folk music is the order of the day then look no further."

"musings on vileness that espouse kindness and a philosophical finger picked approach to the dissolution of decency, tolerance, understanding, truth and democracy"

"strings float in and out of the soundscape adding a hint of heart wrenching melancholy to the warm guitar layers that evoke simpler Southern lifestyles"

Mali's kora playing maestro Ballaké Sissoko headed over to London for a meeting & melting of minds with kora fascinated, classical South African guitarist, Derek Gripper. These 6 tracks are remarkable taken from just a 3 hour improvised session, a testament to the instrument mastery, cultural curiosity, rare (especially these days) listening ability & obvious synergy between these two great artists.
