Laughton Kora
With his incredible voice and immense talent, Laughton Kora has been at the forefront of New Zealand music for the past decade. It has seen him perform alongside his brothers as Kora at The Big Day Out, Vodafone Music Awards, and WOMAD in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Laughton’s influence on the fabric of Aotearoa’s music community runs deep and spans decades. From forming KORA with his brothers to founding L.A.B. (the L stands for Laughton) to an eclectic range of projects and roles over the years.

Laughton co-wrote & produced single Politician which was play-listed by 15 stations nationwide and was No.1 spot on Radio scopes. Then he co-wrote and produced KORA’s album KORA, it immediately went to No.1 on the Official NZ charts and has had double platinum sales. Laughton’s solo show will be sure to get heads nodding and bodies grooving hard to his killer remixed jams.
