Zomo and his brothers

Damouré Zika who was a long-time collaborator of Jean Rouch had many children. Zomo is one of them and he takes us on a tour of the Niamey zoo where he works. He then introduces us to the Super Gawey Orchestra (originally "Orchestre Super Damouré") that he created with his brothers and sisters. The artists play their repertoire on makeshift drums and stage a dance inspired by their father's most famous film, "Cocorico, monsieur poulet" (Cocka-doodle-doo Mr. Chicken).
