Hado Gorgo Leontine is a 60 year old grandmother and farmer in Burkina Faso - and the leader of a 22 piece touring orchestra. Hado, "discovered" while selling millet beer from a roadside in 1960, sings and dances and leads a troupe consisting musicians, singers, and ten dancers who travel the country performing traditional songs as well as her own compositions.

This charming film simply follows Hado, "an ordinary Mossi woman," as she goes about her business of helping her countryfolk maintain their heritage of music and dance.
