Rajery, Ballake Sissoko, Driss el Maloumi - 3ma - 2008

Three virtuosos of the strings, each on his instrument, have come together to make this delicious album of encounter between African musicians. Rajery, "the prince of the valiha", a tubular zither made from a bamboo cane (the ropes they said were used to be bicycle brake ropes); Ballaké Sissoko with the kora, an African harp made of gourd, and Driss el Maloumi, one of the best composers and performers of Oud, the Arab lute.

3ma comes from the three countries to which the musicians belong, Rajery from Madagascar, Ballaké Sissoko from Mali and Driss el Maloumi from Morocco, achieving a crystalline and evocative sound that they move to places that are only visited with the imagination.

Ballake Sissoko - At Peace - 2012 - Mali



"Three years after those nights of diagram recorded on the march to Bamako with VincentSegal (chamber music), the virtuoso Kora has found peace near Angoulême, in the Charente field. Continuity in the change, since the cellist is still a climate of adventure always introspective, but this time for the production, also occasionally on the record, with other accomplices old griot, cello, guitars, balafon all complement ... wide and soft breathing inside his guest BallakéSissoko countries and in different configurations (solo, duo, trio and quintet), to decline in their twenty-one infinite chains variations of their inspiration: Mandingo simple sentences, often repetitive, modulated by subtle changes of rhythm or mode. Cultivate a sober serenity , touches the hue that contrast. Suddenly, his new book, less lyric, sometimes lacks brightness. Conversely, the tandem formed kora and the twelve-string guitar of Aboubaca r "Badian" Diabate works wonders, especially N'tomikorobougou a long trance (ten minutes), dense, extremely nervous when even crickets play their part. Following Asa Branca, strong recovery in a standard Brazilian trio brings a breath of fresh air.
