A jubilant dialogue between Mandingo music and acoustic jazz, «The Following» was born from the collaboration between French jazz pianist Olivier Hutman and Senegalese kora player Lamine Cissokho. Each track, which blends modern improvisation with elements of traditional music, acts as a bridge that enriches the global musical heritage. This exceptional project is enhanced by the participation of the legendary American bluesman Eric Bibb. Essential for all lovers of jazz, blues, and world music. Augustin Bondoux / Patrick Frémeaux
