A bold transnational meeting of minds: Arat Kilo from Ethiopia, Malian kora player Mamani Keita, and New York hip-hop artist and producer Mike Ladd come together to create something genuinely unexpected. The album sits at the intersection of hip-hop rhythms, North African and West African melodic traditions, and contemporary jazz sensibilities. Accords Croisés gives these three artists room to breathe. What emerges is soulful, rhythmically sophisticated, and deeply rooted in place—you hear Ethiopia, Mali, New York, and something entirely new all at once. It's the kind of record that reminds you why jazz and hip-hop, at their best, are about dialogue and discovery.
