Kora is a New Zealand-based band known for blending diverse genres such as reggae, rock, dub, and roots with an electronic twist. The group formed in the early 2000s and consists of the four Kora brothers—Laughton, Francis, Stuart, and Brad Kora—originally hailing from Whakatane, and later joined by Dan McGruer. Their sound is characterized by tight vocal harmonies layered over groove-infused compositions that showcase a unique and energetic approach to contemporary music.

The band has enjoyed considerable success in their home country, consistently releasing tracks that resonate with a wide audience. Their recent work, including singles like "Dancing In The Rain" and "Gone," continues to demonstrate their evolving sound and their ability to capture the zeitgeist of the New Zealand music scene. Kora's live performances are particularly renowned for their vitality and have helped the band cultivate a dedicated fan base. Each new release, from the pulsing beats of "Weekend" and its DJ Spell Remix to the entrancing "Secret Lover" P-Money House Mix, confirms Kora's standing as innovative musicians unwilling to be confined by genre boundaries.
