The old grandfather welcomes us into his blue cave to share more of his stories. He still has plenty more wonderful tales about Kirikou’s childhood to tell, when he helped the men and women from his own village and from other villages, too.
He tells us how Kirikou’s courage and intelligence helped the Strong Woman whose roof had been destroyed by Karaba the witch. He tells us how our little hero used his cunning to find the Old Grouch who was lost on the savannah. Another reveals how Karaba kidnapped the Storyteller, but she was nonetheless able to share her tales with the villagers. We also find out the secret of the mysterious Blue Monster and, thanks to a flute and someone from Kirikou’s own family, we learn about the magical powers of music.
Thibault K. Agyemang was born in 1986 in Pithiviers, to a French antique dealer mother and a Ghanaian drummer father, an expert in High Life and Afrobeat rhythms in the tradition of Fela Kuti. From a young age, he was immersed in music. He began studying piano at the age of three, and demonstrated an exceptional musical talent. At the age of six, he started using computer programs for creating music. He began writing music at the age of 10. Being educated by correspondence allowed him to follow his father and his uncle to Amsterdam, where he appeared for the first time on stage aged 14 in a quintet. Upon his return to Paris, he dedicated himself to composition, influenced by classical, contemporary and African styles, and by artists including Claude Debussy, Danny Elfman, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Mark Isham.
After having composed music for several short films, for students at cinema schools like EICAR or ESRA, Thibault Agyeman recently embarked upon his professional career, creating the original soundtrack for KIRIKOU AND THE MEN AND WOMEN.
