From Mezaj · The Niger project
Your membership helps fund new music in Niger.
A studio project in Niger is among the work supported by Mezaj membership. Membership starts at $5 a month, with 70% of payments going toward new music.
Supporting a recording is a way to participate in the music before it reaches its next audience. The Niger project is part of that work.
