Koné is a musician based in Leuven, Belgium who turns to rare percussive instruments and Buddhist mantras in his new tale of a boy trying to find deeper meaning. It’s called Deeper Sound.
By Graeme Smith
Deeper Sound is a piece that will grab you straight away with its handpan rhythms, jazzy horns and charismatic vocals. What you stay for, though, is its storytelling lyrics that paint a vivid picture of shallow excess and passion for something more.
With an interest in overlooked instruments and self-development, Koné is really bringing something fresh to the world of music. Yet, even though his sound is unconventional, it remains highly approachable. You can hear for yourself by checking out Deeper Sound below.
