I spend 3 month in Senegal, in four different regions along the cost from February to May 2022. My first stop was "l'école des sables" founded by Germaine Acogny in Toubab Dialaw, where I met and worked with a lot of great dancers, choreographers and musicians like Ndeye Seck, Richard Adossou and Saky Bertrand, just to name a few. After that I continued my music research in the region Casamance, the capital Dakar and St. Louis. I played different traditional senegalese music and learned a lot about rhythms and west africain dances. In Senegal the typical instrumentation is called Sabar. Except for the Casamance, the region between Gambia and Guinea-Bissau in the south of Senegal, the traditional music is generally instrumented with Seourouba drums. In Dakar, I was looking forward to working with Samba Cissokho on the kora. We recorded some of his songs with him as a duo and as a trio with Ousmane Ba on the peule flute. Samba comes from the well-known Cissokho griot family, from which famous kora players such as Ablaye Cissokho, Lamine Cissokho, Solo Cissokho and Diali Cissokho have emerged, to name but a few. It was such a journey to learn so much about music and to play so very different traditional west africain styles. The senegalese music culture is very rich, virtuoso and so challenging as well.
