Barake Sissoko, a kora player who is very popular in Japan for his works on NO FORMAT, including duos with Vincent Segal, has collaborated with Derek Gripper, an up-and-coming guitarist from South Africa who is influenced by Arvo Pärt and Egberto Gismonti, as well as traditional music from all over Africa. The new album is released!\n\n\n\nThe recording took place in November 2022, in a mere three hours. At first, the two musicians explored each other, but their superior technique, ear, and improvisational ability to understand and respond to the other's sound quickly made them a beautiful ensemble. A heavenly ensemble of kora and guitar, reminiscent of the ECM works of Egbert Gismonti, whom Derek admires. This is a truly universal piece that transcends the category of African music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1.Ninkoy\u003cbr\u003eA2.Koortjie\u003cbr\u003eA3.Koyé Yè Yan\u003cbr\u003eB1.Maimouna\u003cbr\u003eB2.Moss on the Mountain\u003cbr\u003eB3.Daraka\u003cbr\u003eB4.Basle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matsuli Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50136415076641,"sku":"2299991421444","price":297000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/2299991421444.jpg?v=1723173026","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-co\/products\/2299991421444","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
