The short documentary by Jeremy Chevrier of Rootsyrecords features Sega Cisse and other villagers from the area of Fuladugu, west of Bamako.
There are a lot of familiar rhythms and dances featured in this video, and it’s nice to see footage of them from Fuladugu in contrast to Bamako.
Key Moments:
- 0:00 Jeremy Chevrier Plays the intro music to this video
- Some of the antics are fun to watch. We like at 2:08 when the woman uses the other lady’s head cloth to wipe the drummer’s sweat and then throws it on the ground.

Man… This video is really inspiring. I remember seeing it for the first time in 2008, and thinking to myself: “That’s it. I gotta go to Mali right now!”.
