Kora Jazz Trio embodies the subtle encounter between the Mandinka traditions of West Africa and the aesthetics of African-American jazz. Through a refined and elegant instrumentation—kora, piano, and percussion—the ensemble opens a sonic space where musical heritages echo one another, complementing and reinventing themselves.
Born from the desire to create a dialogue between two musical cultures already linked by history, Kora Jazz Trio weaves natural bridges between jazz improvisation and the oral tradition of the griots. The kora, emblematic instrument of the Mandinka royal courts, offers its crystalline lines, while the piano extends its harmonic and modal explorations. The percussion, rooted in the rhythmic pulse of the African continent, brings breath, movement, and resonance.
The trio does not simply juxtapose two musical universes: it fuses them. Each performance becomes a journey—a poetic crossing where the energy of jazz intertwines with ancient songs, ancestral rhythms, and contemporary nuances. This hybridization is not an artificial encounter; it reveals a profound kinship between two traditions born of shared human, historical, and emotional trajectories.
Kora Jazz Trio offers music that is open, luminous, and unifying, touching both heart and mind. A celebration of memory, exchange, and creation in motion.
