Try using the volume controls on each track to turn tracks up and down, and see what the effect is on the music. As you change the balance of the different parts, you effect the texture of the music.
If you remove any part of the texture, you obviously leave a hole. Listen to the kind of hole you create in each case.
The two kora parts create an intricate and delicate sound at the top of the texture. If you cut them out, the music looses some of its brightness.
The acoustic guitar and electric guitar together make up quite a sad, melancholy sound in the middle of the texture. The acoustic guitar plays a fixed pattern and the electric guitar is more free. If you mute this track, the music sounds less rich, and less dense.
The udus and congas, the percussion parts, are the root of the rhythm of the piece. If you cut these out, the rhythm sounds weaker.
The electric bass, the lowest instrument, is the bottom of the texture. If you mute the bass, you lose the bottom of the harmony, the music as a whole sounds thinner and less stable.
