Music never stays in one place. It is passed on, circulating from voice to voice, from person to person. At the heart of the evening is Senegalese kora virtuoso and singer Momi Maiga, who brings together West African traditions with flamenco, jazz and classical music. Together with Ensemble Resonanz, he creates a concert built around musical exchange. Each musician brings something of their own: influences, stories and sounds. They listen to one another, pick up ideas and respond. And suddenly, a conversation begins.
