2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frantz Fanon. The psychiatrist’s work has had a significant impact on post-colonial movements around the world, especially in North Africa. When filmmaker Jean-Claude Barny explored his life in the biopic Fanon, he chose Ludovic Louis to create the soundtrack. The jazz composer and trumpeter employed a bold musical alliance, creating a dialogue between North African and Middle Eastern sounds. Ludovic Louis is our guest on Eye on Africa.
