It is said that music can capture the soul of a nation. Agsila has composed 40 songs to rhythms the Senegalese love from the Wolof Bible translations of her father. Much of her music is on social media where she has a following in the thousands.
She has gone international, singing in concert halls in France and Belgium as well as in Senegal. At the ceremonies of dedication of the Wolof Bible, the program can’t start until the invited dignitaries arrive, so she is planning to present a concert preceding each ceremony as people wait.
This year and next, up to the dedications in early 2026, she is committed to promoting the Wolof Bible with pastors and their churches and choirs, with government officials, and with her contacts in the communities of artists and musicians. She will distribute USB keys which double as business cards. They carry her compositions of Wolof scripture. She is making videos to post her 40 scripture songs on social media and the music sites.
Agsila prays publicly with her musicians before concerts. Where Wolof is not known by many in the audience, she explains the meaning of the words. Some are moved to tears. She is forthright about her Christian testimony when interviewed on TV. As much as possible, she uses Christians as back up musicians and encourages other Christian singers and musicians.

USB key with Agsila’s songs (It doubles as a business card): $10.00 per unit; 100 USB keys
Wolof scripture Agsila put to music, with a video from a concert (includes paying her back-up musicians, publicity, and all that is involved in putting on the concerts.): $300.00 per unit; 40 songs ($12,000)
