'Sibi, lme du violon' is a 2010 documentary film directed by Michel K. Zongo.

Synopsis



A blind violinist called Sibi has been singing and playing in cabarets in the most popular neighborhoods of Koudougou, Burkina Faso, for more than 30 years. He knows the origins of the ethnic groups and the most important family lines in the region. The film tells the story this extraordinary man. Despite his blindness and the general indifference around him, he holds the living history of the region, and its oral traditions, now threatened with extinction. Perhaps his story is "a message in a bottle" to viewers to pay attention to his story before it is too late and these memories disappear forever.
