John Haycock takes the kora (21 string African harp) and runs it through a series of electronic devices creating lush soundscapes and solid beats and overlays it with woodwind instruments, bridging the gap between ancient West African Folk melodies and modern electronica, visiting influences from hip-hop to ambient to dub along the way. He has been studying kora closely under the master Gambian griot Jali Nyonkoling Kuyateh for several years having also spent time In West Africa absorbing the culture.Through this relationship John not only learned how to play the Kora, but also how to construct the instrument, and is able to guide anyone searching for a Kora of their own. https://john-haycock.com
