Posted on: August 18th, 2007 Dakar, Senegal "making of" video shoot photos
Back in Dakar after a week in the Casamance, with the help of Fatou Kande and Etienne Senghor and Omar Kande (massive Big UP!!), I connected with Ceptik, who is an MC/producer/cameraman/editor/graphic designer/IT programmer and is also part of the crew Still, to help me put together 2 videos for the songs, “Fire feat. Xuman” and “Saye Mbott feat. ALIF,” both of which are on my new record, “Archipelagos,” to be released on Soot Records. This was full-on DIY. Borrowed camera, lights rented on the super cheap as a favor, mini DV tapes bought in europe to save money, a fucked-up old mercedes on loan to play a clandestine taxi, the very kindly donated space at WaruStudio in Mermoz to film in, a back alleyway tangana in Guediawaye, all of the artists’ time and effort as well as extended friends, families and crews. Much thanks to everybody who helped make this happen!! Videos coming soon……….You can check the full flickr set of photos here.
