Synopsis
In 1961, in a small village in the middle of the Guinean tropical forest, a music band is born. This band will become one of the biggest orchestras of modern Africa. It is Bembeya Jazz. This orchestra, symbolizing the Guinean revolution of Ahmed Sékou Touré, managed to rock the whole African continent with their music. Forty years later, we go back to its roots.

gollark: Yes, but that would probably lead to more problems than the OO thing would if done well.
