After providing rhythm to the vigils of the armed heroes of the past centuries, the Yela incorporates today the family ceremonies and also serves as breeding ground for modern singers. By following the path of adapters and custodians of these masterpieces of African heritage, the film reviews the framework of the production and renewal of an art through which can be read the configuration and trajectory of the "Fulani" community of West Africa.
