BotangRecords doesn't do this work alone. Every festival stage, every Children's Village booth, every convention we're invited to is the product of partnerships built over years, not events. The organizations below are the ones we return to, again and again, because their missions and ours point in the same direction: preserving African heritage, strengthening community, and investing directly in the next generation.

Seven very different organizations (national, statewide, local, studio-based, and Cameroon-based) share one throughline with BotangRecords: the belief that culture has to be actively carried forward, not just remembered. Every one of these partnerships gives BotangRecords a stage, a community, or a channel it couldn't build alone, and in return, BotangRecords brings the cultural programming, the mentorship, and the hands-on work with kids, youth and adults that turns a gathering into a lasting memory and a mission into a movement.
Are you a nonprofit or community organization working toward similar goals? BotangRecords is always open to new partnerships that strengthen African heritage, art, culture, and music in the diaspora and beyond. Reach out at partnerships@botangrecords.com or (612) 459-0353.
