about

About 25 people call the small village of Thiaraguene Cognadji, Senegal home. They are partnering with Community Voice International to share their culture through music and to facilitate local development efforts. The village maintains a community garden and has a steady source of water. Short-term development projects include:
* Machines for processing grain
* The expansion of a women’s garden
* The investment in tools to expand the women’s and community gardens

Thiaraguene Cognadji’s first recordings are:
* Jesus Demarifu: a Christian song about Jesus dying for the world's sins
* Mounta Deru Jesus Tavenufu: a Christian song asking Jesus for his forgiveness
These songs reflect the importance of the Catholic Church in this community (the majority of Senegal's population is Muslim).

The people of Thiaraguene Cognadji are proud to share part of their musical heritage with the world and are hopeful that through the sale of their local music, they might overcome financial barriers to development.
