A direct-to-fan storefront for independent francophone African artists to sell downloads, productions, CDs, and USB releases.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

Paama describes a storefront workflow in which an artist publishes a release, shares one link through Instagram or WhatsApp, and receives payment through regional mobile-money services or cards. The homepage says artists retain 85% and can request withdrawals to mobile money or a bank account. Fans can preview tracks and download after purchase without registering first; selected releases may also be offered on CD or USB for delivery in Côte d’Ivoire.
