Ballake Sissoko - At Peace

In 2009, in the depths of the Malian night, Ballak� Sissoko and Vincent Segal recorded the stripped down dialogues of Chamber Music. The album collected rave reviews and became an instant classic. But Ballak� Sissoko isn t in the business of sequels. 'I didn't want to do Chamber Music all over again,' confirmed Ballak� Sissoko, 'I wanted to work in its continuation.' At Peace relies on the strong bond that unites its actors, but it is also an adventurous record, full of chance encounters and acrobatics. The peace displayed in the album is the peace of the brave, of musicians who aren't afraid to rub shoulders with the unexpected and unprecedented. Three of the nine tracks are solo kora, the others feature some or all of the Special Guests: Vincent Segal (cello), Aboubacar Diabat� (12-string guitar), Moussa Diabat� (guitar) and Fassery Diabat� (balafon).
