Franco-Algerian musician and musicologist, Camel Zekri brings together on stage two Central African peoples who oppose everything, the Ongo Brotto of Bambari and the Aka Pygmies of the forests.

Together, the 7 men traveled throughout France to play and share their hybrid music.

A musical and human adventure that brings them to Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue in Normandy for a last concert at the Tatihou Traversées festival.

Raphaël Thomas met Camel Zekri, who accompanies them on the guitar and who is at the origin of this atypical project.
