Hi forum members - I may have given myself some extensive work starting this forum. It is tricky finding information or rather enough good information about African instruments. This seems a kind of discrepancy as I live here in the Southern tip of Africa. However, I have a wonderful music mentor and friend from whom I could learn a great deal, so more pictures and information and perhaps even sound files to follow. For now I post information about the kora, some links for images So happy reading West African String Instruments - Kora, Bolon, Ngoni - Djembe Direct http://www.djembedirect.com/store/st...sResult details West African string instruments like the kora, bolon, and ngoni, imported direct from Mali and Guinea, hand crafted in the traditional style.
