Goddard College, Plainfield, VT

Senegalese kora master Ablaye Cissoko shares the stage in a mesmerizing collaboration with French accordionist and composer Cyrille Brotto. Together, they create an exotic, yet strikingly modern sound that melds the deep traditions of their very different musical cultures and showcases their unique artistry.

Ablaye Cissoko is an avid cross-cultural collaborator. He incorporates Mandinka griot traditions with contemporary musical creation, performing with artists across genres, including world music, jazz, classical and baroque. Cyrille Brotto is an accomplished diatonic accordionist and multi-instrumentalist, with a distinguished performing and educational profile across Europe. The rapport between these two artists is evident in their mesmerizing music. Together, they perform a gift of poetic imagination and musical intelligence, at times so harmonious that it seems as if touched by grace.
