Now on DVD!

A spellbinding film of a recording session of Senegalese master-drummer Doudou N'Diaye Rose and dozens of other drummers and singers performing as an ensemble. Filmed on the island of Goree, off the coast of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, it captures African drumming in perhaps one of the most dramatic settings imaginable, one of West Africa's major centers of the slave trade. The superb musical performances are stunningly intercut with exquisite, restful, almost static images of the island, providing a visual counterpoint to the driving dynamic music and musicians, whose complex rhythms are led by the striking, restless figure of Doudou N'Diaye Rose.

One of the most stunningly beautiful music videos ever produced. 43 minutes.
