Music and Friends - Marseille 2013

Gari & Momo - Massilia Sound System 


During my photographic work on the young artist of Marseille, I met Momo and Gari of the Massillia Sound System, the legendary reggae band of Marseille. Gari is one of the voices of the Masillia, and Momo is a great musician that collaborates with Gari. Meeting them has been one of the most beautiful and lucky things happened to me in Marseille.
