MAMADY KEITA 1987 (all 3 selections) Ens. KOTEBA d’Abidjan LA VIE PLATINÉE
LA VIE PLATINÉE is a 1987 film from Cote d’Ivoire by Claude Cadiou... Mamady Keita played a character named “Kawa.“ Though not a major element of the overall plot, his role nevertheless was crucial to the film: Mamady performed as lead drummer for the KOTEBA ensemble of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Indeed, the complete 82-minute film dramatized that group’s invitation to Paris, and their subsequent struggles to raise (successfully!) the necessary travel funds... I have uploaded each of the ensemble’s 3 appearances separately, as well as this longer sequence that combines all three with excerpts of the opening credits, of the group’s bus travel, and of their ultimate departure for Paris.
Surprisingly, this film source does not seem to be widely known among djembe students? The complete movie has over 100,000 views on YouTube, but the comments are all about the city of Abid
