Info
On 7 March 2026, Ballaké Sissoko and Piers Faccini meet at the Centre Culturel Tisot in La Seyne-sur-Mer. The Malian kora player and the Italo-British songwriter present Our Calling, an acoustic programme in which kora, guitar and voice answer one another. They craft songs that link Mande traditions with British and Mediterranean folk traditions, in a spare compositional style that leaves room for nuance and dialogue.
Their partnership goes back to the early 2000s at Label Bleu. Since then, the two musicians have explored bridges between continents and inheritances, echoing trajectories that move sounds as well as people. Their themes summon migration—from seeds carried on the wind to migratory birds like the nightingale—and the human routes that mix styles and rhythms. In the studio as on stage, they favour closeness and attentive listening, an intimate acoustic exchange that lets breath and silence circulate. In La Seyne-sur-Mer, this dialogue is reborn, driven by the kora’s pulse and the guitar’s harmonies, between sung narrative and instrumental pathway.
