"Dianké," the West African radio drama produced by RAES and available as an RFI podcast on the website and listening platforms, received the "Original Music in a Podcast Award" from the Paris Podcast Festival, with the support of Sacem, on Sunday, October 18, 2020. The music for this original creation was composed by Karim Bourouaha.
"Dianké" tells the story of a young, independent African woman with a strong character who enters politics to fight corruption. Between family secrets, love, and the election campaign, Dianké becomes a woman of conviction and struggle, a whistleblower of a new kind, inspiring all generations in her wake.
"Dianké" tells an African story from a female perspective and puts women's voices at the center of a contemporary narrative. The aim of "Dianké" is not to offer light entertainment, but to spark debate and break down stereotypes.
DIANKÉ is a radio series written by Insa Sané and directed by Tidiane Thiang and Alexandre Plank. Music composed by Karim Bourouaha. A series produced by RAES, by Mbathio Diaw and Romain Masson, with the support of the French Development Agency and CFI.
