    African Rhapsodies is an enchanting new work for kora and orchestra that celebrates Africa’s magical 22-stringed harp and gives it the position of prominence granted for centuries to the violin, piano and flute. The work, arranged by Italian composer Davide Mantovani was recorded with BBC Concert Orchestra. The album includes guest appearances, notably by South African Cellist Abel Sealocoe and Gambian percussionniste Suntou Susso.
    The album comes with 44 page booklet translated in French.
