Ludovico Einaudi, Ballaké Sissoko – Diario Mali

A delicate meeting between Ludovico Einaudi’s minimalist, contemplative piano and Ballaké Sissoko’s ancestral kora, bringing contemporary classical traditions into dialogue with the musical heritage of West Africa.

“Diario Mali” emerged from the collaboration between two musicians from very different backgrounds, creating an intimate, serene and deeply organic atmosphere. Piano and kora intertwine naturally, moving between moments of striking simplicity and more expansive passages in a sound journey shaped by silence, improvisation and the rich timbre of the instruments. A particularly rewarding release for listeners drawn to instrumental music, ambient, minimalism and the meeting of different musical traditions.
