A kora is a traditional West African stringed instrument with a large, round body and a long wooden neck. It has 21 strings, which are stretched across the body and played by plucking with the fingers. The kora produces a bright, melodic sound and is often used in West African griot music, which includes storytelling and praise singing. The instrument is known for its rich, resonant tone and its ability to create intricate, flowing musical patterns.
