Since 1984 I am doing intensively Kora studies.
I have traveled several times to West Africa and have established contacts and made friends with Mandinka Kora musicians.

Besides the Kora I am interested in a couple of other string instruments from West- and North-Africa, Madagascar and the Orient, Asia:
Donso Ngoni, Ngoni (Konting), Sintir (Guimbi), Valiha, Marovany, Kabosy, Mvet, Rababa, Saz (Baglama), Tar, Vina, Zheng





Some of these instruments I also play as a member of the World Music Ensembles:
