The performance by Sanza Percussion and Sadio Sissokho promises a captivating and emotionally rich musical experience. Their music draws deeply from the balafon ensemble tradition of West Africa, with a polyphonic style and techniques that mesmerize audiences through subtle harmonies and counter-melodies.
By blending the sounds of the sanza and kora, two ancient instruments, they create a unique and enchanting sound. The group explores original compositions as well as creative arrangements of traditional Mandingue music, producing a compelling sonic alchemy.
In this show, their collaboration with jazz musician Bryan Highbloom adds another layer, combining the rhythms and improvisations of Mandingue music with jazz influences. This bold fusion promises an unforgettable musical experience where the boundaries between genres blur, giving way to a dynamic and rich sonic exploration.
