Sound demo of kora RESONANCE model. A building concept (by KMH) to allow the membrane of the kora work freely with no obstacles so in this way to take advantage of all the vibrational potential of the soundboard (skin membrane). The result is that all notes are sounding so clear (like having its own space to express themselves, so easy to identify each one) while at the same time the sum of all the vibrations happening become so gently well interwoven. The bass and medium notes sound louder with more sustain too.
The resulting feedback while playing, with a very low vibration of the handles (they are not in contact with the instrument membrane) and this membrane flowing free improving the sound experience is just making this model a GREAT kora to have in hands, to listen while playing and a GREAT kora to be listened at (audience) as its sound is very powerful too.

Special thanks to my bro, jali kora player, Sam Sussoh who is masterfully playing for this demo sound recording. A baraka ba ke.
