Titled "Djiyo" (which means "water"), this album is like a river uniting the lands it flows through, harmoniously merging Manding and Occitan traditions. ๐ง๐ง๐ง
In this intimate and spiritual musical journey, the two virtuosos reinvent their relationship with their instruments, offering a luminous conversation tinged with melancholy, a poetic and intense dialogue, and a magnificent lesson in music and humanism.

The duo takes us on a spiritual and intimate journey and offers us remarkably warm and graceful music, one to clear the mind and inspire the senses.
After many great and unique collaborations in different music genres, Ablaye Cissoko surprises us again by pairing this time with the French diatonic accordion player Cyrille Brotto, for what sounds like a waltz between two knowledges, a conversation between two learned instruments.
But between Ablaye Cissoko (one of the most famous kora player worldwide, with 13 albums released! ๐ฟ) and Cyrille Brotto, well known figure of the French traditional & folk music scene, this is more than just music. This is a story of friendship and deep respect. ๐ญ ๐โจ
