Yesterday marked the kickoff of Phase 2 of Senegal Surround Sound’s Xeex Sibbiru (Fight Malaria) campaign! The day included a press conference and launching of the Xeex Sibbiru Song Contest, in which local musicians will have the chance to write and perform their own songs to raise awareness about malaria. Now begins the search for Senegal’s best songwriters and performers.

Nearly 80 members of the press showed up to cover the event, which indicates the momentum behind the campaign to eliminate malaria deaths in Senegal! Check out this video to see how the day went. (The background music is the Xeex Sibbiru campaign song, featuring some of Senegal’s biggest pop stars: Youssou Ndour, Viviane, Souleymane Faye, Pape Diouf, and Ndeye Marie Gawlo.)

Enjoy,

Adam
