A new, five-track digital EP is out now, featuring music from the recording sessions for the album Toumani & Sidiki, a rare father-and-son collaboration between kora master Toumani Diabaté and his son Sidiki, the instrument’s emerging star. The EP extends the collection and explores further what happens "when two geniuses bridge generations" (Los Angeles Times).
Earlier in 2014, in a rare father-and-son collaboration, Toumani Diabaté, genius of African music and widely recognized as the greatest living kora player, recorded Toumani & Sidiki, an album of duets with his son Sidiki, the instrument’s emerging star. Now, World Circuit has released a further five tracks from the original recording sessions as a digital-only EP, available in North America via Nonesuch Records.
Since its release, the full-length album Toumani & Sidiki has received unanimous praise, being described by the Quietus as "one of the best albums of the year so far," "extraordinarily beautiful" by the Independent, and "'gently exquisite" by the Guardian. The new five-track EP extends the collection and explores further what happens "when two geniuses bridge generations" (Los Angeles Times).
To download the Toumani & Sidiki EP in North America, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store now.
