Editorial Reviews

Roderic Knight, PhD, Professor of Ethnomusicology, Oberlin College Conservatory of Music
The kora is finding its way into experimental compositions in jazz,funk, concert music, and the theater. But not all the new performers play these new styles. Kane Mathis, in his first kora release,collaborates with Gambian Mandinka colleagues Moriba Kouyate and Sefai Jobarteh to create a new but pure sound for the classic kora repertoire. The playing is brilliant, the voice pleasant and soulful.
