Kora is a traditional West African music genre that originated in the Mande Empire of West Africa. It is typically played on a 21-stringed harp-lute instrument called the kora, and is accompanied by percussion instruments such as the djembe and dunun. Kora music is characterized by its complex rhythms and improvisational nature, and is often used to accompany traditional dances and ceremonies. It is also known for its use of call-and-response singing, in which a lead singer is accompanied by a chorus of singers.
