What is the rumor of the world upon awakening? From the song of the birds of Andavadoaka, passing by a flight of bells in Paris, the voices of the first prayers of the day in Dakar, to the cries of the birds on the banks of the Mékrou river… sound piece at the dawn of the world.
Listen to the world is a radio program replaying in podcast here, but also a participatory platform dedicated to listening. It archives and provides free access to more than 200 sound recordings sent from all over the world, to be found on The sound map.
Listen to the world at dawn was recorded by Michel Créïs in Paris and Dakar, François Porcheron in Andavadoaka, an unknown author on the banks of the Mékrou river.
