Je fabrique un balafon
In Ouagadougou, Konomba Traoré, master balafonist, introduces his son to the making and sanctification of a balafon. Material is transformed, knowledge is transmitted and ancestors are informed thanks to this extraordinary character. Konomba is authoritative, funny and passionate all at the same time. The film gives to see and to understand phenomena pertaining to the intangible cultural heritage as conceived by Unesco. Konomba Traoré is Living Human Treasure of Burkina Faso.
