dedicated to the people of baro.

Life has a rhythm, it's constantly moving.
The word for rhythm ( used by the Malinke tribes ) is FOLI.
It is a word that encompasses so much more than drumming, dancing or sound.
It's found in every part of daily life.
In this film you not only hear and feel rhythm but you see it.
It's an extraordinary blend of image and sound that
feeds the senses and reminds us all
how essential it is.

  • WOW THIS IS AWESOME I LOVE THIS VIDEO

  • ça c'est du vrai doumdoumba don la danse des hommes forts rien à avoir avec les petits sauts que nous montrent certaines personnes qui font des rastas pour se faire passer pour de grands maitre de la culture mandingue(ils ne savent rien et ne peuvent rien enseigner)Je suis fiere de vous et tres heureuse de revoir le fleuve niger.Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur la culture mandingue allez en guinée non en gambie.Allez trouvez les malinké à kouroussa kankan siguiri etc....vous serez surpris

  • La culture mandingue est tres riche je suis si contente de retrouver ma culture!!!!!Quelle merveille!

  • 3:49 is cool :P

  • eso es vivir a compas

  • Same thing we find throughout every tribal culture. A connection to the planetary rhythms and a universal perfection we loose in a society filled with competition, materialism and greed....great video..thank you

  • We all live this every day. It is a sign of our perception, how much of it we realize. Intention is the mother of our wisdom...

  • @purpletnk51 I agree

  • Il n'y a pas de mouvement sans rythme : everyone who loves to dance should watch this

  • I've been deep into this culture for about seven years now, playing djembe and west african rhythms and have enjoyed this video so much !

  • @dadamalheiros

    I just came from Baro and it certainly isn`t hopelessness and pain you see in people`s faces. It`s happiness, hope and courage. Guinea is a tough country to live in but the people are very strong and always smiling.

  • fantastic video

  • the end is the best part

  • I video is very deep and more than what you see on the surface...you need to watch more than once :0)

  • Stunning well filmed, sound, editing etc Big compliments
