Sound of the African kora | KMH sound demos

Explore here and now the sound quality of the instruments crafted by the kora workshop label KORA manding harps (KMH). Below you will find audio samples from several of these West African Manding harp models.

While I aim to add new recordings as often as possible, it isn’t always feasible for me to record every individual kora I build, as I prefer to have them demonstrated by a professional player to truly capture their soul. Under the same philosophy, to give you the most honest representation of their character, these are totally raw audio files with no effects or digital enhancements.
