Abenyadi,

This is me improvising on the West African harp called the kora as I look out over Bristol, a wonderful city but like many cities it has a dark history! But Bristol is slowing becoming a beacon of hope for what humanity is or could be…. the sharing of knowledge, art and learning to truly listen to ourselves and others. Time and time again we fall into the trap of thinking that our world is made up of you and me, us and them, this and that.

If you don’t already know about the beautiful history that the kora comes from please do check out the links below.
