The pairing of the musical instruments the kora and the cello offer a magical sound in the hands of Ballaké Sissoke and Vincent Segal. Fairly described as elegant and soulful, hear their collaboration for yourself on "Balazando," named after the place in Mali. It's from their album, Musique de Nuit.
