Gueye (percussion), Bao Cissokho (kora, tama), brilliant strings c/o orchestra Olla Vogala. At ’t Ey, Belsele, Belgium . Thank you. “When Issa Mbaye Diary Sow (1947, Talbakhlé) first played the nianiooru (or riti), he was a young Fulani shepherd. Each time his herd was grazing, he would start at the “violin“, developing a passion for the melancholic sounds he had heard his uncle play.
