Visiting the Black Voice Foundation offices yesterday, Hardy Brown J. and his lovely wife Sonya showed us some of their impressive collection of traditional African instruments. One of the most interesting was the kora which looks a bit like a cross between a cello, a drum, and a bagpipe, yet sounds like a harp. We were fascinated with this beautiful instrument and thought you might be, as well. It is prominently featured in this video performance of the African Classical Music Ensemble of Mineon Ba. youtube/watch?v=RfnaQ9Cuw5k
