St LOUIS ON THE MOVE - directed by Kita Bauchet 32 mins

 

A double bill of Music and Film at Mwalimu Express on the 6th of November. For the finale of the Film Africa Festival, we set off to Senegal to revel in the music and dance of this cultural powerhouse. We celebrate with a performance by kora maestro and griot Kadialy Kouyate. Steeped in the kora traditions of his lineage Kadialy incorporates new sounds textures to create his mesmerising music.  

 

Joining Kadialy is super-talented Brazilian percussionist Adriano Adewale who has been running rhythm workshops during our Mwalimu Express Resonates season at Rich Mix.  

 

SAINT LOUIS ON THE MOVE is a fascinating short film which explores the rhythm of daily life in the city. Creative and compelling dance by the 2 featured dancers from Senegalese contemporary dance company Diagn'art. The film embodies and reflects the energy, pulse and vibrant colours of Saint Louis as the dancers guide us through this dynamic city.
