Beautiful acoustic sound

A fascinating instrument, with 21 strings and a cow-hide resonator, Kora is a type of bridge harp with some lute or guitar DNA in the mix. It’s made from a gourd, which is cut in half and covered with cow hide to form the resonator of the instrument. This detailed library from Soniccouture contains 6 GB of samples and is ideal for all kinds of compositions.
