Moussa Cissokho - kora, voc,  Jan Galega Brönnimann - bcl, ss, Omri Hason - perc

The music of this trio is a fusion of the traditional and the modern music from Africa, Europe and Middle East. Moussa Cissokho, of Senegal origin, is an exceptionally talented player on koru – a 24-string-harp, singer and composer. He comes from a famous traditional griot family and his father taught him since his early childhood. Griots are wandering singers and storytellers, they travel all over the land and participate in traditional ceremonies. Cissokho lives in Austria now and he works with many musicians from both Africa and Europe.

The Swiss bass clarinettist and saxophonist Jan Galega Brönnimann comes from Cameroun and the West African music has influenced his musical career. He has worked with many musical personalities and is mostly known as a frontman of his electrojazz band Brink Man Ship. 

Omri Hason is an Israeli percussionist, who began as a classical drummer. Later on, was impressed by oriental percussions and he studied with Iranian drum Master Djamchid Chemirani. He is one of the most respected players in this field. He lives in the Switzerland, records and plays with different jazz and world music ensembles.
