Where it came from
La Kora Del Senegal was released in 1974 on the French label Arion, which played a pivotal role in documenting and disseminating world music traditions during the 1970s. The album serves as a definitive showcase for the kora, a 21-string West African harp-lute, as performed by the virtuoso Lamine Konté. It was produced during a period of burgeoning international interest in African classical and folk music, aiming to capture the meditative, intricate precision of Senegalese musical heritage for a global audience.
The album is widely regarded as an essential recording for ethnomusicologists and enthusiasts of African strings. By isolating the kora in a studio setting, the production highlights the instrument’s unique harmonic complexity and Konté's technical mastery. As an Arion release, the record benefits from the label’s commitment to high-fidelity field and studio captures of non-Western traditions, providing a clean, intimate listening experience that preserves the subtle tonal nuances of the kora’s performance.
