Synopsis
Making room and space for music, this documentary tells how Jacob Salem, small page of the King of Mossi, driven out of the royal court because he played modern music, became the first Mossi rocker of Burkina Faso, now recognised by the Mogho Naaba who urges him to spread the Mossi culture. His encounter with Swiss musician Andre Courbat in 2016, during a stay in Burkina Faso, will be the little nudge necessary to boost his career.
