Estuary

Kiya Tabassian, Ablaye Cissoko and Patrick Graham

The estuary, where fresh water meets the sea, evokes passage, renewal, and fertility. It is a space of transition and transformation, where unexpected possibilities emerge—much like the musical encounters imagined by Constantinople.

In this new collaboration, Ablaye Cissoko, master of the kora, and Kiya Tabassian, virtuoso of the Persian setar, cross paths for the third time, blending the currents of their musical memories. At their side, their long-time accomplice, percussionist Patrick Graham, brings rhythm and subtlety to this sonic conversation.

Over the years, their dialogue has deepened, becoming a rich and inspiring musical exchange. And when the stars align, in the space of a concert, the kora and the setar intertwine their voices to create a captivating universe—suspending time and soothing the soul.
