My photos are mounted on wood panels and I use an epoxy finish that looks like you're looking in water or a matte finish for snow or sky, and sometimes a mix of both, depending on the image. Without the intermediary of a window, it is as if we were directly in nature.

From the time he was a child, Dartagnan Camara knew his destiny. Follow him to Guinea where he shares how he became a musician, in a family where becoming an artist was strictly prohibited. He recounts his childhood runaways and his plots to become an international artist, despite his father's ban. His determination to follow his destiny is an inspiring story to all, no matter the call.

BADERA a documentary by Catherine Veilleux

Talented percussionists from Guinea, living without resources in extreme poverty, practice their art and live in a building on stilts that they built themselves; a refuge where we witness their daily challenges and their efforts to break through as artists. Badera is an inspiring story of courage and mutual aid, at the heart of Mandingo music.

Buy my book "Journal d'une djembefola"  (French edition). It tells stories of my trips to Guinea and my quest to become a djembefola. Buy it on line or in person.

This first album from Dartagnan Camara is a cocktail of rhythm and percussion; a fusion between Mandingue, Latin and Contemporary melodies.

Dartagnan is a great source of inspiration for his generation and this album is THE djembe CD  you want.
