about

It is said that a kora, being a sacred instrument, will sometimes play by itself. Babou was lecturing me on the griot ways and the magical properties of the kora when suddenly the wind entered the calabash. It started to produce a marvelous sound.

I captured this sound here. THIS IS NOT ELECTRONIC MUSIC.

It is said that the spirits live inside the kora and that the calabash represents the earth and a woman. I created this piece with sound samples from dakar, voices, songs, laughter with effects and sound processing to symbolize how the kora has given birth to West African culture, through social structuring by griot songs.
