There is no movement without rhythm

Dedicated to the people of Baro.

Life has a rhythm, it's constantly moving. The word for rhythm (used by the Malinke tribes) is Foli. It is a word that encompasses so much more than drumming, dancing or sound. It's found in every part of daily life. In this film you not only hear and feel rhythm but you see it. It's an extraordinary blend of image and sound that feeds the senses and reminds us all how essential it is.  By the brothers Thomas Roebers en Floris Leeuwenberg film crew during one month in Baro, Guinee Afrika. Beautiful sound recording and sound design Bjorn warning translator and rhythm specialist Thomas Bonenkamp, with special thanks to the chief: Djembefola Mansa Camio.
