Sayon Bamba: L’excisée (2011) |
 |
|
Sayon, a native of Guinea and a citizen of the world, tells the story of her country in her songs, little snippets of life picked up on her forays through the Guinean bush. A sharp look at a confusing society struggling between unavoidable village festivals, growing poverty and vicious polygamy.... "Lexcisée" ("The Circumcised") is a call to society to finally end traditional FGM_C, as it means violence to children and causes much suffering: "Je sais que tout plaisir a disparu de vos corps et que vos regards vides ne voient plus rien. Je lis tant de tristesses en vous." (I know that all pleasure has disappeared from your bodies and your empty gazes see nothing. I read so much sadness in you). |
