Doors 19:00 / Start 19:30. The stellar quartet featuring Ballak? Sissoko (kora), Vincent Segal (cello), Vincent Peirani (accordion) and ?mile Parisien (sax), channel a multitude of influences to irresistible effect. Malian musical royalty Ballak? Sissoko has spent many years making records with French cellist Vincent Segal that bring together Manding and European chamber traditions. Meanwhile, ?mile Parisien and Vincent Peirani have worked together as a saxophone and accordion duo somewhere in the hinterlands of jazz and folk. In the new album Les Egar?s (2023) meaning 'those who have gone astray', the two pairs combine and recombine in the art of cross-fertilising sounds and transcending genres. Les Egar?s reminds us of the rebelliousness that can be found in a spirit of concord and the extent to which the art of playing together with such fine intelligence can generate an extremely subtle way of lighting a fuse.
