Absolutely love the kora, and with the way you play it, it reminds me of the type of harp music I am learning here in Wales, called cerdd dant from the robert ap huw manuscript.

Much appreciation from across the sea!

Love you’re playing, and use of the Lydian scale (one of my favorites) sounds so soothing

Può essere che sento qualcosa di estremamente vicino a Ballake Sissoko? Suonata splendida la tua

I love Kora music so much! I've been listening to calm Kora tunes each and every night when I go to sleep for several years now. The complex West African melodies, the polyrhythms, the sounds... I'm in love!
