With world music from Senegal, Lithuania, the Netherlands Antilles and Belgium.
Solo Cissokho & Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė.
Solo (from Senegal) plays the ‘kora’ and Indrė (from Lithuania) the ‘kankles’, two instruments with similar sounds, but from two different musical cultures. The Senegalese and Lithuanian folk melodies intertwine with spontaneous improvisations with a sunny, bright and gentle stream of acoustic music.
