Songs Of The Metropolis (a doc film)



The music, the ideas, the politics and the images…

“Rather than delaying an obvious multicultural attempt to flatten everything and to present an image of manifold or most duplicity, the beauty of it comes out when the African flute really doesn’t agree with the hip-hop drums, and this is the instant when my understanding of beauty comes into play. This is where I want to start, to start merging those things that don’t agree with each other, to let them not agree”
