The 08 Mar 2025

The exchange between Ballaké Sissoko and Piers Faccini began almost 20 years ago, when the two artists met at the same record label: Label Bleu.

AS AN EXTENSION OF THE FESTIVAL LE GOÛT DES LANGUES #4
A fascinating dialogue is immediately established between the folk songwriter from London - passionate about African music - and the musician from Bamako - heir to the great tradition of the kora and Mandingo music. Sometimes the best conversations happen slowly. It takes time to get beyond clichés. Contrary to the saying, music is not a universal thing, but rather a matter of languages. It takes time to learn each other's languages, not just to listen to them, but above all to hear them.
In 2020, back on the same label, the exchanges were renewed. Ballaké Sissoko invited Piers Faccini to sing "Kadidja", a song in Bambara, on his album "Djourou". Piers Faccini then wrote another song for the duo: "The Fire Inside".
The two friends then decided to record an entire album together, scheduled for release in early 2025.

As every year, a concert to extend the flavour of the Festival Le Goût des Langues! This year, we're celebrating the meeting of musical languages...

Duration: 1h30.
