Another piano trio? Forget it, this is actually a band. A tightly knit unit that takes every opportunity to celebrate life and imagination, rather than getting stuck in intellectual concepts.
Trio Rop creates songs where old folk tradition of ancient tales meet the group’s own new written material. Three unique voices with power and playfulness that whisper and cry; together they create a unique soundscape with dissonance, groovy polskas and fine-tuned text reading.
Multiple award-winning Senegalese/Swedish duo Sousou & Maher Cissoko are crossing borders in their music just like in their life together. Constantly on the move with musical and human meetings as their principal driving force. Maher was born to play kora and Sousou is one of very few female kora players in the world.
