“Kora Player” is one of Angu Walters' signature musical portraits - a radiant celebration of rhythm, culture, and spiritual joy. The musician’s elongated, expressive features and the shimmering geometric patterns surrounding him create a sense of movement, as if the kora’s melody is vibrating through the canvas.

This is the kind of artwork that transforms a room: bold, soulful, and alive with color. Collectors love Walters for his ability to capture the heartbeat of African music, and Kora Player is a standout example - an original painting that brings warmth, culture, and artistic prestige to any space.”

The gentle music of the kora is increasingly rarely heard. Click here for one hour of African Kora Music.
