About

Ocora is a record label dedicated to documenting and releasing world music, ethnographic recordings, and experimental sonic works. Based in France, the label has focused on preserving diverse musical traditions from across the globe, including indigenous and non-Western music forms. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to cultural documentation and artistic exploration, evident in releases spanning Pygmy music from Gabon, classical vocal traditions from North India, and experimental vocal and harmonic works. Operating primarily in vinyl and cassette formats during the 1970s and 1980s, Ocora positioned itself as an important outlet for ethnomusicological recordings and avant-garde sonic experimentation. The label's approach emphasizes the artistic and anthropological value of its releases, appealing to collectors of world music, experimental music enthusiasts, and researchers interested in global sonic traditions. Through its diverse roster and archival mission, Ocora contributed to the broader dissemination of non-commercial and culturally significant music within underground and academic music communities.
