The documentary
A look back at the history of the world’s best-known French band. Kassav’, the world’s best-known French band, is a phenomenon comparable to the Rolling Stones, both in terms of its longevity (forty years on stage) and its global impact.
This documentary takes an in-depth look at the group, featuring testimonials from its founding members (Pierre-Edouard Décimus, Jacob Desvarieux, Jocelyne Béroard…) as well as Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, Youssou N’Dour and Wyclef Jean.
