About 15 years ago, Cherif Soumano (kora) and S?bastien Giniaux (guitars, cello) met in Bamako. Since then, their career path has often crossed and their friendship has grown around a dialogue between two cultures, two continents. With African Variations, a project initiated in 2016, S?bastien and Ch?rif are travelling from Paris jazz to african desert blues, from kora arabesques to virtuoso cellos, from the great flute of Na?ssam Jalal on the preceding album to Paloma Pradal's flamboyant flamenco vocals on this new record. Beyond the friendship, their musical complicity and their pleasure to play together is just stunning.
