Kora Konnection

Kora Konnection is an exotic blend of West African mandinka music and jazz improvisation. The band is led by two griots (oral historians): Morikeba Kouyate, kora (African harp) master from Senegal, and Thierno Dioubate, balafon and djembe master from Guinea. Kora Konnection is also blessed to have the two finest jazz musicians in the city of New Orleans,Tim Green saxophone and James Singleton acoustic bass. Kora Konnection's architect and African percussionist, Jeff “Papafrog” Klein is the heartbeat of the ensemble. A combination of traditional West African music and Acoustic Jazz, Kora Konnection’s unique sound spans the cultures of two continents.
