In this exciting journey to the metropolis, the adventures of a continent are revealed; the new cultural poles of the South and the gaps that still separate these neighboring countries. It encounters contemporary ideals of Pan-Africanism, the Gangbé Brass Band finds themselves immersed in a world of new ideas. It is a journey in a contemporary and different Africa, one that no longer solely aspires to the European dream. (Guadalajara International Film Festival)
