Africa is a Country contributor Anni Lyngskaer (a former student of Sean’s at The New School; originally from Denmark) just posted this short video showcasing the rhythm of daily life in Sierra Leone, and the dancing talents of the country’s women. It’s a really nicely shot and edited clip, plus the incorporation of sounds corresponding to the action makes for an interesting audio visual experience. Great job Anni!
