“Pull, pull, pull strong like a lion” is the song that fishermen from Kafountine, the village where I live, sing in unison when pulling up fishing nets. Together with some friends I am trying to compile the African songs and legends. In Africa traditions have always been spread by word of mouth, nothing written. Now we are trying to capture tradition in paper, in films, in all kind of supports that allow our children better know where they come from. For this reason, when you contract me as a guide, you are as well part of this project, because you add resources we are going to use in this venture. And, of course, I will translate and help you understand all the songs you hear.
