Check out this video for some backstage footage of the Xeex Sibbiru (Fight Malaria) Song Contest in St. Louis, Senegal on April 10. It features two musicians from Viviane’s Jolof Band and some of the evening’s contestants rapping/singing freestyle about malaria during the sound check before the show. This will give you a taste of how artists in Senegal are fighting malaria with music. More to come so stay tuned!

Xeex on,
