About
*Estuaire* (2026) is their third album together, following *Jardins migrateurs* (2015) and *Traversées* (2019). In this crystalline work, where Sufi and griot traditions intertwine—a estuary where fresh water meets salt water, symbolizing passage, renewal, and fertility (Le Monde, 2026)— Kiya Tabassian, artistic director of the Constantinople ensemble, and the Senegalese griot Ablaye Cissoko weave a subtle acoustic dialogue between the Persian setar and the Mandingo kora, where each note invites contemplation and stirs the emotions.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
