FLAC tracks | Classical | 69:30 | 289 MbThis disc is the fruit of our fascination for African music.

The pieces recorded here are the result of a journey lasting a number of years.

For us, musicians of a string quartet, Africa appears as a continent far removed from the artistic traditions of our lands.

And yet…In the beginning, there was the allure of the cora, the polyphonic pygmy songs, the ethiopian bolel… and hours of spent devouring the wonderful recordings from the Ocora label.
