After many remarkable collaborations across diverse musical genres, Ablaye Cissoko once again surprises—this time by joining forces with French diatonic accordionist Cyrille Brotto. The result sounds like a waltz between two forms of knowledge, a conversation between two deeply lived‑in instruments.
The album is titled Djiyo (meaning “water”) and flows like a river connecting the lands it passes through, blending Manding and Occitan traditions in harmony. This performance is about more than music alone: it tells a story of friendship and deep mutual respect.
In this intimate and spiritual musical journey, the two virtuosos rediscover their connection to their instruments. They offer a luminous exchange with a hint of melancholy—a poetic and intense dialogue, and a beautiful lesson in music and humanity.
Whether this performance has an interval is not yet known.
