February 2008 – Burkina Faso

During the Feast of the Music 2005 (a day of music in whole France every June 21st), we meet the Burkinabe griot Moussa Coulibaly.

Freshly arrived in France, he was was avaricious of new encounters and founded his first French musical project with the rhythmic trio of OZMA. This meeting gave birth to the OZMAFRICA project three years later: a residence and a 6-week tour through Burkina Faso.

Accompanied by two friends photographer Dorian Rollin and Marc Guénard, we prepared to live an incredible journey from the capital Ouagadougou to the village lost in the bush that saw Moussa born.
