The French Embassy in Kuwait and the National Council for Culture, Arts and Literature presents ‘Chamber music’, a concert of Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal today 7:30 pm at the Shamiya Theater.
Most of the time, when we say ‘chamber music’, we think to classical music in a salon in Paris or Vienna. Ballaké Sissoko who plays the traditional kora, a 18-string lute-harp from Mali, and Vincent Segal, the French cellist from the famous trip-hop band Bumcello, are giving a new sense and sound for that kind of music.
Their music is a hybrid of African and European idioms where the graceful melodies of the kora interact with the delicate notes of the cello. Chamber Music is considered as one of the most beautiful recordings of ‘world music’ in recent years. Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal show that the best musical marriages are born from simplicity and friendship.
Invited by the French Embassy to Kuwait, the kora master from Mali, Ballaké Sissoko and the talented French cellist, Vincent Segal will perform for the 1st time in Kuwait and the Gulf on Shamiya theater stage for a unique concert. Don’t miss it...
