The doors are closed. There are no more screenings of this film.
Synopsis: Composer, musician, journalist, an ambassador of the Francophone world, honored and distinguished around the world; Manu Dibango has remained himself wherever he may find himself.
Manu Dibango is a man in a hurry who knows how to take his time. The film is in his image, giving way to long musical tracks, rehearsals, concerts, improvisations, moments of sharing with fellow artists in music, moments of grace where the unique voice of his swinging saxophone flies, swings, sways, exults or murmurs like a confidence.
His love of mixing is also expressed in his practice: this adventurer of music continues to clear unexplored spaces. He is now working to combine his music with that of a symphony orchestra, helping to bring together two worlds that have always been ignored.
Again and again, this unceasing quest for sharing, for sharing the world’s cultural treasures, because once and for all, “we must stop being alone together”…
