Welcome to AFRO CULTURE SPHERE
The living universe of African voices
AFRO CULTURE SPHERE is a vibrant cultural space that brings together, celebrates, and disseminates the artistic, spiritual, and intellectual riches of Africa and its diaspora.
By exploring this site, you will discover:
– Savane Écho magazine, a monthly showcase of African creativity
– Studio Brunus Connect, a sound production space serving culture
– Web Radio Bissakou, a free, popular and rooted voice
– And the works of Bruno Lengani, writer and artisan of memory🎧📚🎙️ Each page is an open door to a continent in motion, between traditions and modernity.
With this first issue of Savane Écho, we are launching a monthly event dedicated to living culture, collective memory, and creativity from here and elsewhere.
The choice of name is not insignificant. "Savannah" for this vast space where traditions, laughter, stories, and rhythms intersect. "Echo" for this word that bounces back, is transmitted, and transformed without ever being lost.
This magazine is intended to be a showcase, a field journal, and a place for expression. You'll find heritage voices, inspiring portraits, spotlights on artists, events, reflections, and even a touch of humor to bring a smile to the heart of everyday life.
In a world where information is consumed quickly and forgotten just as quickly, Savane Écho is taking the gamble of slowing down a little, to look better, listen better, and transmit better.
Enjoy reading, and thank you for being part of this adventure.

SAVANNAH ECHO
July. The sky still hesitates between dust and the promise of rain. But in our minds, the season is fertile. The second issue of Savane Écho is taking root strongly, buoyed by your initial feedback, your sharing, and your enthusiastic responses. Thank you.
In this new issue, we continue our quest: to give voice to forgotten voices, unsung talents, and living legacies, from the depths of Africa to active diasporas.
We don't chase the latest news; we sow the seeds of sustainability.
We don't surf on the sensational; we gently dig into the essential.
At the heart of this month:
🔎 True and beautiful stories.
🎭 Pages of humor and memory.
🎶 Musical chronicles like heartbeats.
📚 And always this free, curious, benevolent look.
Savane Echo is a compass in the dust of the world. And if you hear a tom-tom beating between the lines, don't be surprised: it's the echo of your own.
To all those who seek to understand without judging, to transmit without dominating, to awaken without striking... This issue is for you.

SAVANNAH ECHO
The savannah sings
On the red paths of our villages as well as in the noisy alleys of our cities, culture murmurs, drums, and sometimes shouts. It tells us who we are, what we refuse to forget, and what we want to pass on. Savane Écho returns, in this third issue, with the same spirit: to make forgotten voices heard, to illuminate hesitant steps, and to connect the scattered fragments of our collective memory.
This issue opens like a grandmother's canary, filled with stories, rhythms, and looks toward tomorrow. Between revisited traditions, inspiring biographies, spotlights on our unsung artists, and contemporary reflections, Savane Écho continues to chart its course: that of a media outlet rooted yet open, critical yet loving, lucid yet filled with hope.
We believe that in every well-placed word, in every well-captured image, in every piece of knowledge well-transmitted, there is an act of resistance against erasure. Because if Africa wants to have weight in the concert of nations, it must first listen to itself again, re-tell its story , re-reveal itself .
So, reader, open your ears wide: the savannah is singing.
