🎧 Audio Prize for Wiki Loves Africa 2026

This dynamic sound montage brings together voices of devotion from different spiritual traditions, creating a layered soundscape of faith, ritual and connection. Though rooted in distinct beliefs, these voices share a universal human gesture: reaching beyond ourselves in search of guidance, healing and belonging.

Through rhythm, breath and chant, the piece explores how prayer — across traditions such as Vodun, Christianity and Islam — becomes a powerful ritual that connects communities to the sacred.

Congratulations to ItzAbdullahi 👏
