Salem Fadaq: Can Yemeni music merge with different cultures?
COSMOS 2022
After the overwhelming response to the Reports in 2020, Le Guess Who? continued to reach out to artists, musicians, and creatives across the globe to find stories from within their local communities that should be shared with the world. In Reports from Other Continents, people from all over the world share video reports on topics such as art, culture and music from within their local community.
This film tells the details of the success of the young Yemeni artist Salem Fadaq and how he was able to prove himself in the artistic field, even with his father's opposition to him. Salem proves to his father that he can succeed and that he has a unique art project that he and his brother, who Salem adopted artistically, will carry out.
All reports are made specifically for Le Guess Who? and are commissioned by the festival.
Directed by Ali bin Amer
