This music video was created to promote prevention of HIV/AIDS in West Africa, most specifically in Benin. This was a collaborative effort between Project Troubador (United States), Centre Afrika Obota (Benin), and Real World Foundation (United States). The song features musicians from Benin and was co-written by Ignace Metok and Eliot Osborn. The lead producer in Benin was Arsene Gbaguidi. It is available on YouTube with both English and French subtitles. It is a pro-condom piece that was the centrepiece of an HIV prevention campaign that ran in Benin in 2004. Various characters appear, and each relates how he/she has his/her own reasons to protect him/herself.
