"Most bands that perform a Tiny Desk Concert need to adjust their setup and sound to accommodate the setting's limitations. Malian kora player Ballake Sissoko and French cellist Vincent Segal are an exception. Watch the masterful duo perform a transfixing set combining African and European strings.
Set List:
"Chamber Music"
"Balazando"
"Niandou"
"'Ma-Ma' FC"

Quite an interesting instrument...is it a kora? I've never heard of it but this man plays like he knows what he's doing!! Very enjoyable blog.
Me again! At one point the cellist made his instrument sound like a flute to me. What talen in these two.
