A Black man wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants sits on a concrete ledge outside a building, playing a kora, a West African string instrument. He is holding a stick in his right hand and appears to be plucking the strings with his left hand. The kora has a large gourd-shaped body covered in white leather, with intricate brown designs. A wooden neck extends upwards, holding numerous strings. The man is looking at the camera and smiling. In the background, a dark doorway is visible, and the building has stone walls. The ground is paved with cobblestones. A black bag and some cables are on the ground near him.
