Projet de formation des jeunes à la création-utilisation du Gourmi

Culture Art Humanité is an NGO founded to promote cultural diversity in the improvement of the living environment. It also aims to raise awareness of health, environmental, security and social issues. To do this, it has developed a national, sub-regional and international cultural network.

The reinforcement and enhancement of the Nigerian musical network is based on the training of 40 young people from the Schools of Artistic and Cultural Training (EFAC) in the production and use of the Gourmi, a traditional and popular musical instrument that features in all Nigerian musical compositions. The opening of a shop in Niamey and the setting up of an online sales facility for the musical instruments created will complete this project.


Musée Mobile Gnonnas Pedro Gnoinsope

Art of Africa is based on values such as humanism, independence, responsibility and professionalism. It works to immortalise the rich intangible heritage represented by the work of Gnonnas Pedro, a musician of genius, while promoting the cultural and tourist potential of Benin and Africa.

The aim of this project is to create a travelling version of the semi-permanent exhibition "Gnonnas Pedro, Nin non déké migblon do a" ("let's not forget what we agreed") at the eponymous museum. This digital exhibition will travel around Benin and will make it possible to transmit the educational, civic and community values conveyed by the works of this music legend, who passed away in 2004.


"SARGAL", promotion of musical heritage

Produced in partnership with the Institut français in Dakar, the "SARGAL" project ("pay tribute" in Wolof) is an artistic television programme that aims to raise awareness of the great names in music by reinterpreting classics from the Senegalese and pan-African musical heritage. By allowing the public to benefit from experience of the creative process and by giving a chance to new talents, "SARGAL" wants to share the taste of live music but also to reveal and train up-and-coming artists in the art of composition, arrangement and musical production. More broadly, this project aims above all to give visibility to the audiovisual sector and its various professions, and to encourage digital inclusion by developing diversified content accessible to all.

A look at planned productions
- creation of 180 jobs
- recruitment of 45 women in production
- 60 people trained after 3 years (20 people per season)
- 45 programmes produced
- 50 international collaborations

Today, Studio Sankara is a phonographic and audiovisual production agency recognised on the national and international market for its skills, expertise, technical resources and capacity to innovate.


"Sahelles connect", promotion of Cultural and Creative Industries

The “Sahelles connect” project consists of a programme to structure the cultural and creative industries in Mauritania, targeting youth, education and women, and in cooperation with the other countries of the G5 Sahel, West Africa and North Africa. Through this new scheme, the association is committed to opening a vocational training course in the arts and culture (“Mauritalent”), and to setting up an incubator for 15 cultural businesses run by Mauritanian women. In this perspective of economic and social development, education on rights, freedom and the place of women in the Islamic Republic remain major challenges for strengthening democracy.

Overview of expected productions

– Development of artistic products by young Mauritanian artists in cooperation with female artists from the G5 Sahel region, – Development of a “Green Festival” label
– Development of a new format for the Journal Rappé “Chitaari”

It has been working with the Assalam Alekoum festival since 2014, in consortium with ZAZA Productions, an independent music label. This multidisciplinary festival has been hosting artists from the world of music, cinema, dance and fashion for 14 years.


"Maremusica", production and distribution of music from Cape Verde

Highly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cape Verdean cultural industry, and even more so its independent music industry, is in danger of disappearing. To save this popular heritage, Maremusica proposes to revive traditional music in Cape Verde by relocating the entire production chain to the archipelago. From identifying new talent to the creation of labels, including the opening of recording studios and the organisation of tours, this project involves the creation of around a hundred jobs (musicians, technicians, communication, digital, etc.) and guarantees the safeguarding and revival of the popular treasure that is Cape Verdean music.

A look at planned productions
- Production of 3 albums: an established artist in the Cape Verdean musical tradition; and two young talents, male and female
- Production of a major work of traditional Cape Verdean music (Mornas) with the Symphony Orchestra of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, from Portugal
- Creation of digital platforms and uploading and monetising online content
- Creating jobs in the sector and ensuring income for artists and their families
- Attracting new investors

Focus on Maremusica, Produção, edição e distribuição musical
Founded in 2016 by musician and writer Mario Lucio, former Cape Verdean Minister of Culture, Maremusica's main objective is the creative and financial independence of Cape Verdean artists, the protection of traditional music and the discovery of new talent.


King Buja

Being a musician wasn’t something I dreamt of but it caught up with me along the way of life and I couldn’t just escape it. I rather chose to embrace it and it’s now who I am, I just love who I am now and I know I shall reach the ultimate.
