intense

It has the precious gift to become, scene by scene, a personal story. The story of viewer, more than the image of few young men and their way from Mali to Cuba, crafting a band, having succes, returning in Africa, under political radical changes .

A film about the intense perseverance of a filmmaker to say, in fair way, a magnificent story about friendship and comradery, about music and discover of past, about death, memories and the duty of the last surviver, as the end of a circle.

A beautiful - touching documentary about a great travels across 18 and 45 years.
