Chanana is half of Diata Sya, and a super chill guy who invited us to his unusually calm and breezy house in Bamako. It was nice to sit down with him and dodge the 100+ degrees under a mango tree, sip on some juice, watch some music videos and some… KUNG FU FLICKS! Not just any kung fu, but Bamako’s own take on it, via Chanana’s hilarious sense of humor. Chanana is one of Kourtrajmé‘s main guys in Bamako. If you don’t know about them, you should. A collective of non-orthodox film makers from France originally, who started doing their own shorts, and are now directing films and unavoidable music videos.
