DJALIYA by Ablaye Cissoko - Volker Goetze
After the success of their previous album "Amanké Dionti", the aerial and cristalline duo composed of Ablaye Cissoko (Senegal / kora and vocal) and Volker Goetze (Germany / trumpetts), offers us a new jewel: "DJALIYA". Accompanied by the French percussionist François Verly, operates the magic again: the velvety voice and the brilliant kora playing of Ablaye Cissoko perflecty marry the trumpet chorus of Volker Goetze.
Together they make a tribute to the masters of speech, the griots, real living memories from our ancestors: whether you’ve inherited this gift or singing is your vocation, singing praise is not begging, it’s being the master of those who lend an attentive ear. Respect this attention and merit it. Search not to enrich yourself, but to enrich others with your words. For to be a Griot is to have a noble profession.
Installing a deeply peaceful and serene atmosphere, this album doesn’t forget to address more important themes such as political and social context in Africa (songs « Politiki », « N’a Banco » or « Gal Bi » for instance).
