"When Issa Mbaye Diary Sow (1947, Talbakhlé) first played the nianiooru (or riti), he was a young Fulani shepherd. Each time his herd was grazing, he would start at the "violin", developing a passion for the melancholic sounds he had heard his uncle play. He did not yet know that it would dictate the course of his life.

Today, having collaborated among others with the National Orchestra of Senegal, Baaba Maal, Malick Pathé Sow, Youssou N'dour ... Issa has become one of the stellar players of this emblematic instrument of Peulh music. Upon his arrival in Belgium, he showed a keen interest in many different musical repertoires and different types of violins. This fascination quickly earned him the friendship of a Belgian musical icon of the instrument, Wouter Vandenabeele (Ambrozijn, Olla Vogala ...) with whom recording an album was only the next logical step.

A dozen violinists have joined him in the project. The result is a CD that focuses particularly on the music of Issa and the traditional repertoire of West Africa, but has a variety of instruments, artists and sounds. There are about twenty musicians, such as Malick Pathé Sow, Bao Cissokho, Oumar Ka, or Mola Sylla, Abou Diouba. Music in all its beauty, pure and rhythmically haunting."

Malick Pathe Sow will be playing at WOMAD 2009 Radio3 stage 25.7.09
