About This Piece

Vintage Design

Former African Kora with 3 arms. African art

According to legend, the first Kora was the personal instrument of a woman-genius who lived in Missirikoro caves in Mali. Impressed and moved by the music of the instrument, Tiramakhan Traore (great warlord during the reign of Soundiata Kéita), dispossessed the woman-Génie. The instrument fell to Djelimaly, the group's griot. Djelimaly transmitted her to her son Kamba. And so he went from father to son to Tilimaghan Diabaté who introduced him to Mali.

The instrument is in very good condition. A shell is missing on the left arm.
