My beautiful Girma

The documentary

This film tells the moving story of Girma Bèyènè, one of the most creative artists on the Ethiopian music scene in the 1960s. After fleeing the dictatorship in his country in 1980, he worked for 25 years as a gas pump attendant at a service station in Virginia until the French producer Francis Falceto found him and convinced him to play music again.
