Finding good recordings of West African music is not easy. Big city record stores may carry lots of titles, but it's hard to evaluate them, and sales people rarely know that much about African music. You can find new and old African music on the web, but again, what to buy? As many have found out the hard way, the quality of today's world music offerings varies widely, both in terms of music and production values. So what can you do if you can't find the music you want?

Here's the answer... Cora Connection features recordings that we consider to be exceptional. Throughout our catalog and this web site are links that you can follow to learn more about the artist and their music.
