DEUP
Deup is a short documentary film, offering a glimpse into a community in Senegal where lives are lived within an ancient soundworld and where music, rhythm and ritual are the fabric of collective experience. Guided by composer Lamine Sonko and the cultural elders of his community, the film is a non-linear mosaic of moments, illuminating the cosmic and metaphysical nature of ancient musical spheres.
