UN AIR DE KORA
Angèle Diabang, 2019, Sénégal, 23 min
Salma, a veiled Muslim woman, dreams of becoming a kora player. But in her tradition, women do not play this instrument. One day, as she goes to the monastery to retrieve her father's kora, she is given the opportunity to receive secret kora classes with brother Manuel. This encounter turns into an idyll. In a joyous melancholy, the musical notes become an oasis for this forbidden passion.

Increasing tension settles between them. And always, in their hands or stuck behind their belts, their machetes which follow and define them.
