Djourou (2021)

"Dreamy, hypnotic moods are default for kora, and Djourou provides several variations. The title track features Gambia’s Sona Jobarteh, who adds haunted vocal wails to their duet, while Parisian popster Camille whispers breathlessly in praise of Sissoko’s instrument on Kora. There’s a nostalgic cast to Kadidja, a slow meditation from Anglo-Italian singer and label mate Piers Faccini (who has a fine album of his own out in April), some grit from rapper Oxmo Puccino on Frotter Les Mains (Rub Hands) and nine meandering minutes with rock band Feu! Chatterton on Un Vêtement Pour La Lune (Moon Wear). Engaging and adventurous." (The Guardian)
