This instrument takes a week to tune! The Kora is a 21-stringed, traditional instrument from West Africa. It sounds beautiful. Thanks to Salieu Suso for showing it to me! | Rob Scallon

Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful sound of Jali Fily playing the Kora as people explore The World Reimagined at Rhodes House. The Kora is a West African musical instrument played by storytellers referred to as Jalis. Songs by Jalis commonly praise ancestors, patrons, or Islamic leaders, but may also be historical stories, mythic tales, or improvised verse. #Rhodes120 #Art #ArtExhibition #Oxford #Art #OpenHouse #Oxford #OxfordUniversity | Rhodes Trust | Facebook
