Este es uno de los mejores documentales que he visto. Yo primero lo encontré hace muchos años en noname, pero fallado aunque una parte se podía ver. Años después me lo paso un amigo en otro foro, y ahora lo comparto aquí.
Aquí algo de info:
Filmed on location, Republic of Niger, Nov/Dec 2004: Dogontoutchi, Boubon, Niamey, Agadez.
Musicians in order of appearence: Mohamed Tenna, Abdou Yahaya, Moussa and Ahmadu, Boubon Griots, Niamey Pentecostal Church Band, Ouragan Del Air, Groupe Inerane featuring Bibi Ahmed
A celebration of life in the Sahel region of Africa, this film showcases many of Niger's venerable music styles. Tuareg electric guitar trance rock, Bori cult dance ceremonies, Fulani folk, and Roadhouse gospel rave-ups, are some of the segments included in this latest "Folk cinema" classic from Sublime Frequencies!
Filmed in November/December of 2004 on location in Niger, Hisham Mayet delivers a spontaneous, raw, and inspiring collection of images, music, and ceremony (again with a single camera presentation) from a nation mired in poverty and continual post-colonial disappointment.
Quoting from Mayet’s liner notes:
"This is not music as commodity, this is music as survival. There is a saying in Niger that goes, "when we die we know we are going to heaven because we already live in Hell" well I think its more like the purgatory that we all live in and they sure have managed to transcend with an incredible natural resource: Music. Dig it!" |
