Jazz, World

On one side, you have David Neerman, vibraphone player and free spirit in Europe's fledgling creative scene. On the other side, we find Lansiné Kouyaté, a Maestro of Malian music and an undisputed master of the balafon. The band has played at numerous prestigious events in France, Morocco, Spain, Switzerland and Senegal, such as Printemps de Bourges, Jazz au Chellah (Rabat) or Africolor Festival. In the second episode of their adventures, Neerman and Kouyaté manage to square the circle : they invent the world of today’s world-music, where the material possibility of going anywhere faster must not make us forget that we must travel lightly and always deeply, like an explorer, on a quest for mystery, hallucinations and the thrill of a fever.
