Mamady Keita in "Djembefola"- documentary

Documentary by Laurent Chevallier

"The film, Djembefola follows Mamady Keita, one of the worlds greatest percussionists in a joyful, emotional and music filled trip as he travels from his home in Brussels back to his native village in Guinea.
A child prodigy drum (or djembe) player, Keita, at the age of seven, played in the film Africa Dance with superstar / political activist Harry Belafonte and, when he was fourteen, was selected to join the National Ballet Djoliba. Twenty-six years abroad have not lessened the ties Mamady Keita has to the culture that has nurtured him. In his remote village he has a warm and tearful reunion with friends and relatives who had assumed he was dead. "

Many many thanks for sharing this. It moved me to hunt the rare documentary down. Forever changed after watching the film I knew that this gem had to be shared with all. Mamady says he feels responsible for sharing his traditions when someone asks for it. I hope this keeps it alive. Check out my channel for a few more amazing clips and an extended clip from this scene as well. Love
