This song is called Birima, another by Youssou Ndour. I've learned the important of oral traditions and storytelling in Francophone Africa through my French classes. The storyteller is often called the griot. This video allowed me to see what a modern-day griot looks like. NDour is telling a story about the beloved Birima and his selflessness. He also uses traditional instruments and sounds to accommodate his lyrics.
