Two blessed weavers of time, who were Invited by Filho Único to create a journey of meditative beatitude of kora and modular synthesis. Rita Silva is a composer and instrumentalist currently studying at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, The Netherlands. Resorting to improvisation with modular synthesizers and generative programming techniques, Rita showcased in her first studies an approach that brings to mind pioneers such as Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel or Delia Derbyshire.
Mbye Ebrima is a jali: master of music and words – connoisseur and disseminator of Mandinka-Kabunké history, singer and kora player. He was born in Gambia in 1988, where he has lived most of his life. In 2015 he moved to Lisbon, where he has collaborated with musicians such as Selma Uamusse, Moullinex or Kimi Djabaté, and has been working on two albums, solo and with a band.
