about

Rwanda has beautiful wild parks. Frans Lemaire was invited in 1992 by Romain Baertsoen, working and living in Rwanda, to compose music for a film " Beauté Sauvage " .
Most shots were taken in the AKAGERA national Park and Lake KIVU.
The film was almost ready when the genocide in Rwanda did not allow us to finalize the film work. The music was composed, arranged , mixed and recorded on CD by MICADO .
Singing and dancing local people were recorded and off course , original animal and bird sounds were recorded .
In 1992, the AKAI S series sampling equipment were the ideal tools to integrate my African sound samples in our electronic synthesizer music compositions of this album.
We regret the documentary film was never published in a final version.

YouTube video's are available on my channel " Frans Lemaire Music "
