The documentary Afro-Sampas proposes a look at what can happen when African and Brazilian musicians are brought into contact in the city where they live. Yannick Delass (Democratic Republic of Congo), Edoh Fiho (Togo), Lenna Bahule (Mozambique) and Brazilians Ari Colares, Chico Saraiva and Meno del Picchia are the guests for a first meeting in which they experience sounds, memories and creativity.
