The inviting voice of Reda Kateb leads us to Africa where its landscape comes to life with joy and rhythm, as the rooster crows and tales of wisdom unfold. Here, where everything is immensely lively, a child is born to the sound of the Kora. Cradled by ancestral legend, his eyes open onto the world through ritual and songs from the great Griot, Mory Kanté. 8 new songs that beat to the rhythm of West Africa, and an all new version of « Yèkè Yèkè » for youngsters! A musical journey through Mandinka culture composed by Mory Kanté and told by Reda Kateb.
