Like Nomads keep moving to survive, the artist or creative being has to move
in search of inspiration or enlightment, of purity or authenticity. I have never before felt more ridiculous
with my music or my own idea of music, as when I was singing the main theme of
"The Last Nomads" with the last Bororo in Niger .
They and their letanies have a beauty and authenticity absolutely ancestral,
that we have lost, maybe forever...
"The Last Nomads" shows us what life is like today for the few nomadic groups remaining in the world.
Proud, warrior tribes that have not given up their eternal journey across steppes, tundras, jungles and deserts.
They do not understand borders or sovereignties. They are free, though they respect and obey the codes
of their own traditional laws, in which hospitality and honour are the foundations of their existence.
