Long Live the Dead! plot

Stevo Atambire is a real troubadour who travels from one funeral to the next in Ghana to sing improvised songs about the deceased and his/her family. Funerals in Ghana are only held during the dry season and turn into true events, with ward dancers, techno music, spectacle and vendors supplying food and drink to visitors.
