Cécile Chabert directs a gentle and poetic promo for Belgium and Cameroon-based singer and Kora player Lubiana. The video for Ancestors sees the artist, known for her skills on the Kora and her enchanting voice, sit in the centre of a fabric cube. On the walls of this cube, archival footage of her ancestors is projected, creating a heartfelt visual and auditory experience that highlights the depth of her roots and the beauty of her heritage.The visual unfolds through calm, deliberate camera movement, creating a meditative and thought provoking experience that aligns with the themes of the lyrics. Heartfelt and intimate, it's a concept with universal appeal, wonderfully executed by Chabert and the creative team.
