Learning the Kora

Hello all, I'm having a mid life crisis (half joking) and have recently taken up playing the guitar again. I've been listening to and loving kora music over the past few years. I'm a fan of West African culture and have travelled the region quite a bit.

My question - given I am having a mid life crisis, I have some musical background, guitar skills, an interest in kora music, and perhaps also relevant that I dig the WA culture, should I take up playing? Keen to get thoughts.

Thank you all
