Ballaké Sissoko (kora) and Vincent Segal (cello) on one side, Vincent Peirani (accordion) and Emile Parisien (saxophone) on the other. With these magicians, 2+2 no longer equals 4, but 1. Because it is indeed a unity of spirit and fluidity of sound that these strong-willed individuals create together, disregarding any competition of ego to serve the common musical good. Neither jazz nor traditional, neither classical nor avant-garde, but a bit of all of these at once, this quartet establishes an independent poetic territory where the ear is the king instrument. Where virtuosity is expressed first in the art of being accomplices. Where the simple and grandiose desire to listen to each other leads to the birth of a unique four-voice chant.
