Summary:
- The story of the kora, one of Africa's most iconic and virtuosic instruments, is told here on film. Ballaké Sissoko, the award-winning musician from Mali, takes us on a unique journey in search of the origins and development of the 21-string harp, through legend, history, tradition, and innovation. After studying biology, Laurent Benhamou gravitated quickly towards his twin-loves: sound and vision. In 2008 he created Crunk, his own audio-visual production company, with music and musicians being central to his themes. Lucy Durán is a Professor of Music at SOAS, University of London. She specializes in the music of Mali and Cuba. Between 2000-2013, she presented the BBC Radio 3 weekly programme World Routes. Her research on Mande music of West Africa dates back to the late 1970s.
