West African 300 Year Old Kora Performance

Sean Gaskell passionately performs a 21-stringed harp from West Africa dating back 300 years, called the Kora. Gaskell features traditional songs that are the heart and soul of the Koras musical repertoire and also performs his own personal compositions.

Tom Surowicz of the Minneapolis Star Tribune declared, "Need more proof that music is the greatest international language? Listen to how eloquently Sean Gaskell, a young fella from the grunge and coffee mecca of Seattle, plays the 21-string West African Kora, a gourd-bottomed harp that delivers both acres of melody and gently rippling rhythms."
