The Kora

[SolarSoul]

I recently discovered this very beautiful song from toumani diabate, a kora player from Mali, of the 71 generation of griots.

When one listens to the kora in silence it speaks to the subtle emotional center, at least in my case it relaxes my whole body and it is as if my frequency changes!

I would like to learn to play this most beautiful instrument, because I remember how important it is to play a musical instrument, I think it has a deep healing effect on our consciousness, considering the mysteries of sound.

"Oral traditions agree on general points about the history of the kora but diverge according to the family and the geographic origin of the individual speaking.
Ultimately, inquiries into the origins of the kora lead to 'jinns' (genies, arab.)"

Thanks for sharing, SolarSoul. This music reminded me "Dilemmma" a simple and beautiful song.
