DJ Cucurucho (DJ sets/Prod video) – – Bamako, Mali

He speaks many languages, all of them badly to tell the truth. He’s still traumatized from having had to ride his sister’s pink bicycle as a child. He supports a football team but not always the same one. He’s not too good at dancing with someone but he’d like to learn. His mum still buys his clothes and underwear. He never forgets to switch off the light when he comes out of the toilets. He prefers dark-haired women even though he always goes out with blondes. He started saving money 2 weeks ago to buy a house on the coast of Senegal. He loves both radio and music. He’s convinced that what’s said to be pure is always the result of a mix.
