Ballaké Sissoko (kora) and Vincent Segal (cello) on one side, Vincent Peirani (accordion) and Emile Parisien (saxophone) on the other. With these magicians, 2+2 no longer makes 4, but 1. Because it is indeed a unity of spirit and a fluidity of sound that these strong individualities create together, scorning any competition of ego to put themselves at the forefront. service of the common musical good. Neither jazz nor traditional, neither classical nor avant-garde, but a little of all of this at the same time, this quartet establishes an independent poetic territory where the ear is the king instrument. Where virtuosity is first expressed in the art of being accomplices. Where the simple and grandiose desire to listen to others results in the birth of a singular four-part song.
