Solo & Indré

This collaboration is nothing short of magic, and according to the press release, this is the first time the kora (a west African stringed instrument) and the kanklės (a Baltic box zither) have been recorded together. And my goodness, it's like they were made to play together. Cissokho and Jurgelevičiūtė wield their respective instruments from their respective cultures like alternating looms as they weave their musical narrative together into a tapestry that includes vocals both bright and dim, communal and lonely, panegyric and meditative.
