The Kora Dance Ensemble combines West African traditional songs and strategies, jazz influences on upright bass and clarinets, and the silent music that is dance.

This ensemble consists of four members: Janelle Bel Isle (dance), Eric Likkel (clarinets), Brady Kish (upright bass) and Chet Corpt (kora). We draw on our experiences within many genres – jazz, blues, soul, Western classical, Turkish Ottoman classical, Balkan, tango, and West African – although the primary organizing principle leans towards the West African Mandinka tradition. In addition to what we’ve learned directly from our contemporaneous African teachers and performers, there are always intriguing traces in our music and dance of our undeserved inheritance, as Americans, of the culture and civilization of West Africa.
