@lubiana_k: Traditionally, Women are not allowed to play the kora. Yet legend tells that the kora first belonged to a woman, a spirit who lived in the caves of Mali. One day, a soldier, enchanted by its sound, took the instrument and brought it back to the village. Since then, it is said that the woman’s soul and the spirit of the kora became one. To kora is a woman. I call mine Moussoya, which means femininity in Bambara. 🌿🥰 #divinefeminineenergy #kora #griot #221 #mandingue
