A music video release party and special guest music performances, in celebration of one of Africa's greatest classical music traditions. Viewcy presents: The Music of Niger.

This release will feature 8 tracks by the 4 groups. Curated by Yacouba Moumouni, this video premier will feature music by Mamar Kassey, Wasika Dounia, Tempete, and Lambi-lanfa.

The mission

Viewcy Sessions are about discovering new music, as curated by the musicians themselves, and paying tribute to those musicians with a meaningful income. By buying a ticket, you are directly supporting these artists. A portion of the money raised also going to funding the next series of sessions from Niger.

The project

Yacouba was orphaned at 10 years old. After a 2-week journey by foot to the capital, he played music on the street for two years to survive. A local maestro, recognizing his talent, took him in under his wing. Yacouba is now the maestro. This series are a way for Yacouba to "take in" musicians who deserve a platform, and deserve to be paid for their contribution to all of us. It is also a way for Yacouba to take us in. Now, we too can view the world of music through his lens. We can discover, appreciate, and contribute as well.

Special thanks

Lastly, thank you to all the patrons of the Universal Creator Income Fund. ❤️❤️❤️
