A decade after the trio of Ballaké Sissoko (kora), Driss El Maloumi (oud) and Rajery (valiha) recorded a fine debut album, we finally got a follow-up from the ad hoc, Pan-African ‘sultans of strings.’ The three weave elegantly-textured melodies, bubbling grooves and spine-tingling harmonies in intuitive fashion, each instrument taking turns to own the lead melodies. A Top of the World in #136.
