Music that is representative of the people: full of life, nostalgic and intensely various.

In this century where progress is seen and heard of, only by speed and advanced technologies, Hang, a percussion instrument, made out of a simple piece of tin, appears:
Modou dreamt and wished that someone or something would fall out of the skies. It wasn’t a person, but an instrument. The Hang with its sounds, Modou and his music, il sufj jazz. So, from one frontier to another, an echo repeats itself, through the experience of a journey and its festival of languages. An itinerary, of sacred music in a world, that in the long run, doesn’t seem to be so profane, as it makes us believe it is…… passing through cities as Bern, Paris and Cairo.

Mino Dutertre was born in Angers in 1966. After twelve years of scientific journalism for the television,he then decides to create documentary films. “Modou le joueur de Hang” is his first film.
