Overview
Shot in Burkina Faso, Wassa, which translates “come out and play”in Wolof, is a transcultural music video that unfolds with lush imagery and the evocative music of Moustapha Thiombiano. Jones creates a dreamlike vision, capturing the vibrancy and sensuality of the everyday. This rhythmically textured work is part of his exploration of African diaspora culture through nonverbal storytelling and a transcultural language of sound and image construction — the development of codes based on what Jones terms "emotional progressions and an African sensorium."
