Catrin Finch - Cisoko Finch & Keita (CD)

Details: 2022 release. Echo celebrates the tenth anniversary of an extraordinary partnership between two virtuosos whose previous releases include 2018's album Soar and their 2013 debut Clychau Dibon. Echo marks the third part of this remarkable trilogy. The harp and kora share centuries of history, and Catrin and Seckou create a unique dialogue in a musical alliance of rare empathy, inspired by differences and similarities. Their atmospheric magic crosses genre boundaries, from folk and world music to classical and contemporary as their fingers flow like opposing tributaries into a single river of sound. Echo is the tender triumph of an extraordinary musical partnership that combines harp and kora, the modern and traditional, different cultures and common humanity.
