“Initially published in the 80ies, these recordings (a Radio France Internationale production) invite us to penetrate the intimacy of the poetic creation. The first two CDs present the founders of the “Negritude” (Leopold Sedar Senghor, Jacques Rabemananjara) and the third CD is made of sound archives from Tchicaya U Tam’si who (one generation later) invented modern African poetry. Features archives of interviews and readings. In French” Patrick Fremeaux
