    Mola Sylla sings with a power that stems from the heart. The timbre of his gravelly voice makes him one of the most creative Senegalese singers. He also plays the xalam (West African lute), kongoma and kalimba (thumbed pianos), as well as percussion. Bao Sissoko is acknowledged throughout Europe as a talented kora-player. A true master of this West African harp, he has not only played alongside the famous Baaba Maal but is also known for his collaboration with Malick Pathé Sow. The Belgian folk violinist Wouter Vandenabeele can still surprise us with his collaborations, each one more daring than the last.

    The three musicians had already worked together a few years ago on the albums “The music of Issa Sow” and Mami Kanouté’s “Mousso Lou”, but it’s as a trio that the magic of their music becomes truly apparent. Sincerity and serenity flow from each note, like an invitation to let oneself be carried away at the whim of the melodies. The complicity between the violin, the kora and the singing is intoxicating, the dialogue is sustained, and sheer pleasure in playing shines out at every instant. A pleasure that one can’t help sharing.

about

The Sea of Malika". Malika is a town close to Dakar where Mola likes to let the sea and nature nourish his spirit, and to compose new songs. Along the coast, everybody greats each other with "Iaye" and wears white, a sign of equality between men. Legend tells that the sorcerer Limamou Laye made the sea recede in order to make sure that the neighbouring town of Yoff could install itself without being bothered by the water
