Kora: The 'sacred' instrument of storytellers

When Kadialy Kouyate travelled to the United Kingdom he intended to be a student, but he ended up being the teacher.

The Senegal-born musician teaches at the only university-led kora course in the country.

The kora is a stringed instrument played extensively across West Africa.
