The French Connexion in Africa

This seven-minute clip’s been live for one day and has already scooped over 24k plays. Is this African wave the most incredible left in the world? It’s like a mirrored Snapper Superbank, but, maybe, better? Marc Lacomare, Alain Riou and Aritz Aranburu scored real hard. And so few people out, if you don’t count the seals.
