AN EDUCATIONAL DVD FOR DANCERS, STUDENTS, ACADEMICS, TRAVELLERS. A VOYAGE TO THE HEART OF AFRICA, A CLUE TO AN INTRIGUING WORLD
Senegalese often set up a temporary stage on a street corner. A cheerful crowd dressed in beautiful attire slowly gathers around. The event is called a SABAR. GUEW BI -the dancing circle, is the designated area where drummers and dancers will perform the most exuberant, breathtaking dances.
The DVD introduces us to an astonishing contemporary art form deeply rooted in African tradition.
