Music for the ATELIER

The 21-string harp, the kora, is a signature instrument of West Africa. Complex and beguiling, kora music was long the exclusive domain of griots, musical historians by heritage. But once recordings began to circulate in the 1970s, the instrument went international, finding its way into jazz, pop, rock and even classical and religious settings. In this episode, we sample a wide range of kora music, and hear tales of its remarkable global journey.

The two brothers behind Hill Men grew up with a percussion and jazz-obsessed father and a figure sculpting mom. They themselves channel their creativity through the saxophone, recording sounds, drawing and designing. Hiphop, dub, funk and jazz had a profound influence on their musical stance, apparent still in their electronic music tastes and tendencies today. Deeply into collecting vinyl and spending a lot of their time experimenting in the studio, they also recently launched the Souvenirs From Imaginary Cities record label together with Koen Galle aka Kong DJ. A deep and engaging musical adventure!
