Taffetas

Contemporary African Music - Ethno-World

The group, comprised of Nana Cissokho (kora), Marc Liebeskind (guitar/sit-guitar) and Christophe Erard (double bass) whose talents compliment each other perfectly, have created a distinct sound that is deceptively placid with Liebeskind’s acoustic guitar and Erards’s bass ebbing around the sweet melodies of Cissokho's kora; yet, there are surprising depths here with echoes of the varied musical cultures that the trio has absorbed throughout their global travels which bubble to the surface unexpectedly.

“It is both sublimely soothing and endlessly fascinating as you tune into the intricacies of the kora and guitar playing…There is a delicate, pointillist instrumental texture, nothing to do with a fizzy drink – is a softly caressing escapist fantasy.” – The Evening Standard (UK)

“Mix and match culture: unique Swiss-African blend. Every once in a while a group of musicians from different musical backgrouds come together, bringing with them a whole host of cultural experiences and unique musical talents. Between them they manage to create something fresh and intoxicating. Taffetas is one such group of musicians, they created something unique that has compulsory listening stamped all over it.“ African Business.
