Description
Kayhan Kalhor and Toumani Diabate are both well-known soloists in their own right, but this duo recording is something special taking us on an improvisational musical journey into new landscapes. Kayhan Kalhor, from Iran, is the leading player of the kamancheh, the Persian spike fiddle. He has collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, Kronos Quartet, Shujaat Khan, Erdal Erzincan, the Rembrandt Trio and many others. Toumani Diabate, from Mali, is likewise the leading player of the West African kora. He’s won three Grammys and recorded with Ballake Sissoko, Taj Mahal, Ali Farka Toure, Bjork and the London Symphony Orchestra. This is Kayhan’s first collaboration with an African musician. The spontaneous recording is both a dialogue and a journey through Kayhan and Toumani’s exceptional improvisational skills.
