Handcrafted in the heart of the Benedictine abbey of Keur Moussa in Senegal, this traditional Kora embodies the perfect alliance between spirituality, craftsmanship and music.
Its natural calabash is covered with a stretched skin and adorned with beaded patterns that tell, in their own way, the heritage of the Mandingo tradition. The handle and the handles in noble wood are a true tribute to the raw material and the hand of the craftsman.
Equipped with 21 strings , it transports you into a palette of crystalline, meditative and enveloping sounds, ideal for improvisation as well as for accompaniment.
