Synopsis:
Travelling from San Francisco to India, Japan, Bali, Venezuela, Trinidad and Burkino Faso
documentarian Lutz Leonhardt records the rhythm-makers of every stripe from the intense Kodo drummers of Japan, to the impromptu sounds of Venezuelan children clapping their hands to their cheeks.
A music featuring the Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain, born in Bombay in 1951 and based for the last twenty-five years near San francisco, California. Zakir started his career with classical Indian music, subsequently expanding his repertoire and working with many of the great names of jazz and pop, including George Harrison, John McLaughlin and Jan Garbarek. The film attempts to demonstrate that however different musicians look or their instruments sound, they are trelling the same story all over the world: rhythm is life and life is a rhythm experience.
DIRECTOR'S BIO-DATA : Born 1958. After he finished his music studies in Germany and Switzerland in 1981, worked as a percussionist in concerts, theatre and radio. Around this time, he also began to produce his first short films.
