Ballaké Sissoko & Piers Faccini in Paris in March 2026


Malian kora master Ballaké Sissoko and Anglo-Italian songwriter Piers Faccini have announced a European tour in support of their collaborative album, with a Paris date scheduled for spring.

Sissoko has long been recognised for his work at the intersection of Mandé musical traditions and contemporary improvisation, while Faccini’s songwriting has spanned folk, blues and Mediterranean-inflected repertory since the late 1990s. Their joint album, Our Calling was released in February 2025 and brings together acoustic kora and guitar with subtle vocal lines in a dialogue recorded live in Paris over five days. 

Ballaké Sissoko and Piers Faccini will perform at L’Olympia in Paris on March 9, 2026, as part of their European tour.
