Bassist and guitarist, Mathieu Sourisseau has always put at the heart of his musical practice the meeting and dialogue with different cultures and musical genres, paying particular attention to voices (traditional music, spoken word, blues, hip hop...)

When he met the Ethiopian singer Etenesh Wassié, first with the Tigre des Platanes (Zéraf, Buda musique), then as a duo (Belo Belo, Buda musique), he was spotted for his very particular bass playing and the sincerity of his musical commitment. He invites drummer Hamid Drake (Chicago) to join their duo in 2012 to complete the fundamental triangle that links Europe, Africa and America. In 2016, he invited cellist Julie Läderach for a new creation, (Yene Alem, Buda musique) and, since 2018, the duo continues its exploration of Ethiopian music with double bass player Sébastien Bacquias.
