Over the years there have been many collaborations and crossover projects involving the entrancing 21-string West African harp-lute, the kora - but few if any have achieved the extraodinary symbiosis of French cellist extraordinaire Vincent Ségal and Malian kora virtuoso Ballaké Sissoko. The duo has released a beautiful cd, Chamber Music, and wowed a packed room at last January's Globalfest showcase in NY. They return for a highly anticipated North American Tour this month, including a big NY show at CUNY's Elebash Recital Hall, 365 5th Ave on Tuesday September 27. We're honored to meet Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Ségal in person for an interview and performance on today's show.

Listener comments!

  6:26pm Richard from Venezuela:

Greetings Rob.
  6:32pm cosmic matrix:

laurie anderson's strange angels was the first concert i ever saw
  6:33pm kalki:

website and stream were down?
  6:34pm cosmic matrix:

and i saw tuuvan throat singers and bulgarian chorus at johnson college in vermont
  6:38pm Rob W:

Greetings all and that sounds very cool cosmic matrix! I'm afraid my first concert may have been James Taylor in summer camp in 197-something...
  6:39pm James T.:

I've seen fire, and Rob's seen me...
  6:40pm jaycjay:

@kalki, haven't experienced either being down at least over the past hour or so that I've been here.
  6:41pm miketp:

entering the siberian groove.hey rob and fellows in paradice
  6:54pm kalki:

@jaycjay: must have been a routing snafu on my part of the internet then... I was concerned WFMU went offline because or 9/11 or something like that.
  6:58pm Your DJ:

Nah, 9/11 can't touch us! But I'm glad to hear everything's hunky-dory, thanks Kalki...
  7:11pm kalki:

a logical fallacy on my part, classic. I mistook a mere timely coincide for a correlation. you can't be too cautions with logical fallacies especially during the coming week with all the conspiracy theories flying around...
  7:29pm Your DJ:

No you can't Kalki!
  8:46pm mhk:

Rob is completely correct about the Belgium/America thing.
  9:06pm Marmalade Kitty:

Fantastic show Rob! I'm following the Kora..
