Malian kora player Ballak茅 Sissoko and French cellist Vincent Segal have just released a very beautiful album called Musique de Nuit (Night Music).

After the huge international success of their first collaboration, Chamber Music (2009), they have spent years touring together.

The first album featured several guests but for Musique de Nuit they only invited Malian star Babani Kon茅 to sing one song.

Uninvited but present in several songs is the occasional contribution of a sheep or two in the background, as one of the recording sessions took place at night on Sissoko鈥檚 rooftop in Bamako, Mali鈥檚 capital.

Vincent Segal told 麻豆社 Africa鈥檚 Salim Kikeke why they decided to record outdoors.
