The african Kora
Solo
and duet performances of Ravi's unique style of kora' (also
available worldwide through ARC Music International)
The African Kora by RAVI reviewed in Classical
Guitar Magazine july 2002 by
Tim Panting
The kora is a beguiling instrument, producing
beautiful cascades of notes with a unique sense of ornamentation,
not unlike baroque harpsichord music. Ravi's music ventures
into worlds further from the griots. This music
entices the curious and rewards them with something far deeper
than your average collisions of culture. Ravi has made a success
of cross-pollination and has developed a unique style, partly
by the use of nails, rather like
the classical guitar. This is the kind of disc outside our normal
brief but should be of great interest to those of you with a
liking for new timbres.
Highly recommended
