A dancing waltz brings to mind the lapping of musical waves in its arpeggiated and intricate interplay: a conversation of friendship, close listening & musical wandering. The duo give us ancient histories of the Manding & Occitan traditions with gentle melancholy & poetic poise. “Masterful collaborations of kora and accordion ... a gem from start to finish” - Songlines UK \*\*\*\* top of the world
