  • Birima, the co-operative credit society founded and managed by Youssou N’Dour, was created to assist Senegalese people in need of funds for a business project or promising activity, but unable to provide sufficient security. Birima is the title of a song by Youssou N’Dour, a track on his album Joko: From Village to Town, but above all it is the name of a 19th-century Senegalese king who was very reserved (he spoke to his people once a year) and placed great importance on keeping one's word.

  • He assumed the throne of Cajor And became well-known for his festive reign Where every occasion was reason for Celebration in great style Having inherited a rich oral tradition He encouraged local musicians And his patronage gave rise to the flourishing of The music known as mbaboor Ah! Birima! A day spent in your presence Was the picture of hospitality!
