This will be a brief reply to the person seeking info on "Sara Mbodji". Sara is an old acquaintance of mine, I like to think of as a friend but for our brief and distant contacts. Sara Carrere, who is the person that is written about in "searching for Sara Mbodji" is the daughter of a Senegalese and a French woman. She grew up in Dakar and Goree, the island off Dakar's coast. In the late 70's, she went to London for training as a simultaneous English interpreter. I knew her before and after this sojourn and was with her at the national TV station ORTS when she performed a couple of pieces with Henri Guillebert, the keyboardist of Xalam, a Dakar band that had moved to Paris. The Carreres were descended from a French soldier of the 19th c. who was based in St. Louis (Senegal), I believe. Sara learned the kora and spent more time w/music &, presumably, less on English. I ran across a brief reference to her in Afrique Nouvelle or one of the other African weeklies in the 80's, which stated that she had married a Cameroonian prince. There you have it. I may still have copies of the photos that I took at ORTS in my collection.
