Since last December, the CANAL+ group has been running a program called "1 month, 1 cause," which aims to raise awareness of major African causes and challenges.
This program highlights the work of several organizations—charities, institutions—and their local partners who work every day, on the ground, to improve people's lives.
In April, the theme is the fight against malaria.
To mark the occasion, Africa's biggest voices have come together to give an exceptional concert, "Zero palu ensemble" (
Zero malaria together), in association with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) France
and Speak Up Africa
.
The concert, featuring some fifteen artists including international stars such as Youssou N'Dour, Lokua Kanza, Charlotte Dipanda, and Angélique Kidjo, will be broadcast on Saturday, April 24, at 8:30 p.m. GMT on CANAL+ in Africa and Dailymotion
, rebroadcast on CSTAR, and available for replay for one month.
