We supported Andy Mwag’s Champion album, the Mama Land video and Doro Jamais

Between 2023 and 2024 we supported Burundian artist Andy Mwag’s music, working with Kuza Muzik.

2023 and 2024

We supported Andy Mwag’s Champion album, his Mama Land video and his Doro Jamais single, alongside Kuza Muzik, the production house behind his work.

Champion: an album produced with our support

Champion is Andy Mwag’s album. It was produced with the support of Ingiro Action Center and under the management of our Director General, Yvette Ihorimbere. By April 2023 it was available on all music platforms.

Supporting Kuza Muzik

We also support Kuza Muzik itself, helping the music structure with its organisation, its planning and the start of its programmes. The photographs show a session we facilitated to plan its activities.

Mama Land: a video celebrating our cultures

Mama Land is a song from Champion that became a video in 2023. Yvette Ihorimbere created the concept and wrote the script, with John Elart as director, Arnaud Gasige as producer and Kuza Muzik handling production. The song celebrates pride in belonging to Africa, and in its dances, diversity and joy of life.

Doro Jamais: a single with Big Zoé

In late February 2024 Andy Mwag released Doro Jamais with Big Zoé, a song giving thanks to God who watches over us at every moment. We sponsored the project, and Yvette Ihorimbere coordinated it and wrote the script. Kuza Muzik Production handled production, with Arnaud Gasige as producer. The song also had a listening session.

In June 2024 we went on to sponsor the launch of Andy Mwag’s “Tonight” video, also with Kuza Muzik.
