Adam Doughty is a Kora player, teacher and maker based in the United Kingdom and France as well as Senegal.
He later travelled to the Gambia to study the kora under the late celebrated griot Dembo Konte and his family.
His eldest son, Josh (who has trained under Toumani Diabaté in Bamako) is a professional kora player and teacher and initially was taught by Adam.
In addition his eldest daughter Jess sings and teaches traditional West African songs and plays the kora.
The land has now been extended to almost 7 hectares and has been accepted as a local 'Réserve Forestière', combining his two main interests, the kora and maintaining/restoring wildlife habitats.
