Скачать или смотреть “Oya,” a striking West African climate change intervention through music and dance

The climate crisis is a health crisis, and the African continent—where Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has most of our projects—is disproportionately affected. Vulnerable communities are paying with their health and their lives for a problem they did not create. Urgent action is needed now to limit the damage and to support the communities that are suffering the most.

"Oya" features original music and choreography created by West African artists. This co-creation features singers Mao Sidibé and Def Mama Def and dancers from the prestigious Senegal-based École des Sables. The original song was written for MSF by Mao Sidibé, and the lyrics are an artistic interpretation of testimonies from our projects in Niger, Cameroon, and Madagascar.

The choreography was specifically made for this project by École des Sables to represent different elements of the environment. The video features images from some of the countries where MSF works that are impacted by climate change.
