Ballaké Sissoko At Peace

Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal

Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal, Chamber Music (17:19)

On November 8, 2011 AfriClassical posted: Ballaké Sissoko on kora collaborates with Vincent Segal on cello in NPR.org feature.  An agent for the performer sends links to a substantial music review in The Sunday Times of London, as well as a free track from the new album At Peace:

Hi William,
This is a friendly reminder that Malian musician, Ballaké Sissoko's new album, aptly titled At Peace is coming out now on Six Degrees Records.  Ballaké's recent interview in the UK Sunday Times diverges into his take on the current Mali situation and how his album relates to it.

Six Degrees has also unleashed a FREE track "Badjourou" from the album to post/share.

This is the follow up to the critically acclaimed Chamber Music album with Vincent Segal.  Both Ballaké and Vincent have an extensive US tour kicking off in February.
