Synopsis
Bahlay Kehlay is the result of a backpacking trip through West Africa with a Bolex camera. In sub-Sahara Africa especially, traditional hand drumming and dancing is deeply embedded within the many cultures of the region. These rhythms are not restricted to just music. In West Africa rhythm manages to permeate through all of the population into all aspects of daily life. The title comes from a traditional song that originates in the northern region of Ghana. The hand drumming is an interpretation of a traditional rhythm also from northern Ghana.
