ABLAYE CISSOKO & CYRILLE BROTTO

Senegalese griot Ablaye Cissoko and French multi-instrumentalist Cyrille Brotto take audiences on an intimate journey, melding the deep traditions of their very different musical cultures and showcasing music’s ability to bridge cultures, expand traditions, and connect individuals. Cissoko’s delicate voice and kora combined with the brilliant sound of Brotto’s diatonic accordion create a remarkably warm and graceful music that fuses West African Mandingo culture, French traditional music, jazz, and classical music.

This performance was rescheduled from January 12, 2025.
