TOUKI BOUKI

THE JOURNEY OF THE HYENA

By Djibril Diop Mambety ,1973, Senegal

This is Great.

An avantgard arthouse cinematograpy and editing aesthetic within traditional senegalese symbolism and post-colonial character psyche,Touki Bouki continually disrupts our feelings of realism,and manages to avoid over-emotion by creating  a genuine intrigue in place of demand for melodramatic response.Living at the edge of the heaving, crystal-blue ocean,Mory and Anta’s dream city doesn't seem so far away, and the young lovers embark on an exhilarating adventure as they try to hustle money for their passage.In opposite parallel to the film’s protagonists, director Djibril Diop ‘s dream at the time was to return to Africa which to him had become a distant mythical land after decades of living in Paris.Touki Bouki is a story as old as the world itself : of those who continually set out for new lands where they believe time never stops and like all seekers ,they sometimes win and sometimes lose.

JAY DEE & GILES PETERSON (BBC radio 1) recorded Feb 15th 2001 (produced by BENJI.B) ....classic

I can talk for days about my personal disdain for the I love Jaydee'rs that seem to have popped up from Ulan Bator to Mogadishu since the death of this genius. I shriek with horror at the thought of the countless pitifull events that will be rearing their ugly heads and flyer's from the start of 2010 preparing you for the 10th of February  . . . . but that discussion is for later, I'll wait till February 10th for that. Today or rather tonight I'd rather discuss what I would describe as a classic recording in 2001, when J Dilla visited the BBC studios and had a little session with Giles - I remember listening to this at the time and thinking where the hell did this guy come from, I still think that till this day . . . . . . . . .
