‘Ballaké Sissoko - solo’

Although used to duo projects, Ballaké Sissoko is performing solo for once! Ballaké Sissoko comes from a family of kora masters and at the age of 13 joined the Ensemble Instrumental National du Mali, where his father was a founding member and director. He has since become a much sought-after instrumentalist, collaborating and recording with artists from such diverse backgrounds as Rokia Traoré, Göksel Baktagir, Toumani Diabaté, Taj Mahal, Ludovico Einaudi and Vincent Segal, not to mention the 3MA trio that brings him together with oud player Driss El Maloumi and valiha player Rajery - also on the programme for the Kora Days festival. Take advantage of this concert to enjoy his virtuoso and poetic performance in the Hall M.
