Welcome to the Home Page of Kora Konnection

Kora Konnection is an exotic blend of West African Mandinka music and Jazz Improvisation.   It has a unique sound that spans the cultures of two continents. The band is led by two griots (oral historians): Morikeba Kouyate, a kora (African harp) master from Senegal, and Thierno Dioubate, a balafon and djembe master from Guinea. Kora Konnection includes two of the  finest jazz musicians in the city of New Orleans, Tim Green on saxophone and Vince Mitchell on  bass. Kora Konnection ‘s architect, and heartbeat of the ensemble, is African percussionist Jeff “Papafrog” Klein .   Read more on the Band’s  Biography Page Here.
