Yusuf Plays  the Koro  - ID: 1954580 © Kathleen K. Parker

I met Yusuf on Elysian Fields Ave. in New Orleans. He allowed me to photograph him playing the Koro. The Koro is a banjo like instrument from North Africa and was one of the original instruments brought to New Orleans. Yusuf also plays Friday nights at the Palm Tavern in the Faubourg Marigny area of the city. Note: Yusuf, if you see this, send me your email/ address so I can send you your photo. kk
