Then we go to Natitingou in Benin (in virtual) for an interview with
Le Star Feminine Band
: with André Balaguémon, musical director, 5 musicians who are between 6 and 15 years old and
Jean-Baptiste Guillot,
founder of the
Born Bad Records label.
.
The video
When
Julienne, Grace, Bénie, Urrice, Angélique, Marguerite, Anne
and
Sandrine
are not at school, she rehearses at
André Balaguémon's
in Natitingou in the north-west of Benin.
They form the Star Feminine Band which questions the condition of women in Africa (forced marriage, excision, teenage pregnancy).
