Mdou Moctar | Lyric Video "Afrique Victime"

Using the decorative frame element on the front cover as a narrative device, the video alternates between prioritising the lyrics and imagery of the band throughout the song. While the artwork's primary typeface, colour theme and textures dominate the creative direction, a strong political slant in the lyrical content required the lyrics to be explicitly represented.

The video appeared in both English and French language versions to better cater to each market.
