Info
Ballaké Sissoko and Piers Faccini will meet on stage on 13 May 2026 at Château Rouge in Annemasse. The first, a Malian musician and master of the kora; the second, an Anglo‑Italian songwriter with a clear voice and spare guitars: for years they have crossed paths and carved out common ground between Manding traditions and acoustic folk. Their project Our Calling brings together ten songs conceived as a journey, in which migration — human or natural — serves as the guiding thread. The kora sketches precise motifs, the voice slips into them, the lyrics leave room to breathe, and the strings answer one another. The duo moves forward without superfluous effects, relying on attentive listening and breath. Twenty years of friendship surface in their way of letting a melody take its time, of playing with heritage without freezing it, of opening a space between the intimate and the collective. A concert like an ongoing conversation, in which two musicians seek and find a common language.
