hyenes

Watching tv I just switched channel and was captivate by the beauty of the images I saw.
This film is called Hyenes and is from a Senegalese director who goes by the name of Djibril Diop Mambety.

The soundtrack was done by his brother and is also amazing.
You can listen to the title track in the playlist.

Wasis Diop, Hyenes Soundtrack:

I asked my mother and father permission
To travel round the world and now I’m back
I’ve seen everything you can imagine
From burglaries to assassination
I asked my parent’s permission

The Ramatou bird flew off and returned
I asked my parent’s permission

The Ramatou bird flew off and returned

All the boys have been circumcised by the elders

Get up and work
Get up and work in the fields
Get up and work the soil
Get to work and stop talking

If you don’t get up in good time and start work
How will you find your freedom?
