That means “malaria can be finished!” In this video, which was projected onto screens around Senegal during the Xeex Sibbiru Song Contest concerts, Youssou Ndour tells concertgoers to use mosquito nets, seek treatment immediately when they’re sick, and to take all of their medication until it’s finished. That’s how we’ll beat malaria.
The preliminary concerts are done, and the finalists are on their way to Dakar where they’ll spend the week of June 2 to June 9 rehearsing with Bouba Ndour before the final concert on June 9. I’ll be there and will give you some insider views of the rehearsals.
Stay tuned and xeex on!
