The music danced, played, sung is their striking force here, the language that binds them and brings us closer to them. Before the minuet there was the tam-tam, after the minuet there is always the tam-tam. By means of ancestral instruments they take us back to our origins and testify to their authenticity which must be safeguarded at all costs. Our wandering in the former Paris-la-blanche will lead us to meet the Ballet Kodia, music and dances Central Africa ; Gérald Wilson, American choreographer and amazing dance teacher; Nel Oliver, originally from Benin, printer turned showman; Cheik Tidiame, Senegalese without work and without a residence permit and who can no longer take it, as he says, "to live in shit"; Cathy, a superb West Indian, model at Paco Rabanne, who takes both language lessons at university and singing lessons; Ramiro, refugee from Guinea Bissau and street singer; Nancy Holloway, ex-star of the song of the 60s and who testifies to a recent past. The Black Sugar where every Sunday takes place a musical party, allows them to break the isolation and to discover themselves to others and to themselves. Written by Cinergie See less
