RHYTHM 'FOLI' THERE IS NO MOVEMENT WITHOUT RHYTHM

Foli

"dedicated to the people of baro. please share"


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.
