For this, the second single from the project, the French guitarist joins forces with Malian singer Tina, known for dancing alongside Toumani Diabat\u00e9 and Salif Keita. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With his Yeko project, the French artist Yohann Le Ferrand gathers African musicians from different backgrounds around his guitar. It represents a series of musical portraits in which he gives voice to different West African singers and aims to find a balance between ancestral cultures and contemporary music. “The Yeko project is a way of exploring different musical styles through the aesthetics and origins of each guest. I usually bring several playbacks that are quite focused, and then we work together on the melody. This is my favourite part because the mutual trust creates a chemistry and the soul of the song is built at this stage<\/em>,” he explained in an interview<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, the second single in his series, the guitarist features the great Salimata “Tina” Traor\u00e9 on a meditative journey. The softness of the singer’s voice, supported by the lyricism of the cello, immediately charms the listener in a way that expands beyond  the Bambara lyrics. Tina evokes life on earth and the trials that help us grow. This single forms part of the album, YEKO<\/em>, due out in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
