| Synopsis: |
The ten-piece afro-helvetic band „King Kora“ starts a tour through Gambia, the home country of its kora player and singer Lamin Jobarteh. The band travels for nine days on a boat on the river „Gambia“, stopping by at eight villages and cities along the shore to perform, and finally giving three large concerts at the coast. But what they find in this country does not always meet their expectations... |
