Portrait of Seydina Insa Wade, senegalese musician

As the founder of folk music in Senegal, Seydina Insa Wade had his hour of glory in the 1970s. After his departure for France in the 1980s, where he performed in jazz clubs, Seydina Insa Wade was somewhat forgotten by his countrymen and women. Observing that the new generation in Senegal was unfamiliar with his music, he decided to regain contact with his country and returned to Dakar to record his latest numbers. Ousmane William Mbaye followed this return to the home country for two years, and the friendship which grew up between the two men provides us with a sensitive and highly personal portrait of the musician: through his personal statements and songs, we discover a constantly moving, multifaceted personality.

ITALIANO/ITALIEN
Ritratto del musicista senegalese Seydina Insa Wade. Pioniere del folk nazionale, consacrato negli anni Settanta, fonda la sua ispirazione nelle radici profonde del folklore senegalese, nei racconti delle nonne, ma anche nella vita politica e sociale. Partito in Francia negli anni Ottanta, ha moltiplicato i suoi concerti nei club di jazz, rimanendo per diverso tempo lontano dalla sua terra d?origine. Oggi, scoprendo che la nuova generazione senegalese non lo conosce, decide di riallacciare i contatti con il suo popolo, registrando a Dakar le sue pi? recenti creazioni.
