Mahogany Kora 2023

"I met Armando at a dinner party and we became fast friends. His understated elegance shines in his life and his work. It speaks of his storied past in Africa, Europe, and the U.S. He is passionate. You can feel his urgency to highlight the rich history of West Africa, the grace of his life, and the energy of his NYC home. The kora is the instrument used to sing the voluminous histories of many tribes (like the Mandinka). It's sound is a symbol. So too can be its aroma!" David Moltz, Perfumer.
