Idan, Vieux, Yossi and Souleymane improvised a masterful selection of songs that encompass the unbridled creativity and inspired collaboration of these four brilliant musicians. With additional contributions by a number of special guests, the final result is an album that will bring to mind classics such as Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder, Keith Jarrett's The Köln Concert or Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal and Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal's acclaimed Chamber Music.
