Handmade in Africa - Senegalese Craftsman Makes Traditional Kora Musical Instrument from Scratch
Музыка
Seydou Kane, a master instrument-maker working in Dakar, Senegal, makes a traditional goatskin kora from scratch. Koras carry huge cultural and historical significance across West Africa, and the ancient music of the 'griot' Kora masters lies at the root of much Western contemporary popular music today.

Every aspect of instrument construction in Africa [and other cultures] has an inherent Spiritual element, starting from the materials harvested from Nature to be used in the process of building an instrument. As I learned on my visit to Senegal, this philosophy extends to the playing of a finished instruments, a process in which it is felt that each person who touches the instrument leaves a part of his soul in it. Many of my instruments carry parts of the many souls which have blessed them with their divine touch.
How I love the sound of the Kora ❤️👌🏾👍🏾
I love the Kora and you did a beautiful job of making one! It has so much more meaning when you know what goes into the process.
Beautiful to watch the kora being made. I play ngoni and study the history of our family, I do the photo albums. A western version of the Griot maybe ? 🎶🌞. All love to Senegal 💖
God bless the work of your hands 🙏🏾
Fascinating. Exactly the kind of content that makes KZread so special.
