In our family, one of the last guardians of genealogy is our grandmother Diogo Penda Sarr. She knows the deeds of ancestors and precious name of the lineage. According to the poet Senghor, one died a death which can not pronounce the name. She came to us during the agony of our mother and close ties have developed between us. She began to send us the floor in this period of our lives so obscure.

This speech is threatened. In the family, we are the second generation of writing. That will continue to sing the line? To fight against the destruction of this ancient word, we decided to move from oral tradition to tradition filmed.
