Allocation of funds

<p> The multicultural nature of this album makes its production costs higher than a "classic" album, but it is what makes the project culturally rich and unusual!! Therefore Segun Ola needs your help to complete this adventure!</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The total budget for the creation is 13,238 Euros.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The main expenses of the project are:</p> <p> Ø Artistic creation of the album (recording, mixing, mastering + jacket and graphics printing / duplicating of the CD): 9610 Euros</p> <p> Ø West Africa Transportation (from Benin to Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria): 168 Euros</p> <p> Ø Accommodation costs in West Africa (Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria): 640 Euros</p> <p> Ø Europe Transportation (from Benin to France, Germany and Belgium): 1140 Euros</p> <p> Ø Accommodation costs in Europe (France, Germany and Belgium): 1680 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> The artist Segun Ola will <strong>contribute 1500 Euros to the overall budget</strong> and is mobilizing additional funding from its institutional network in Benin, especially among sponsors that have partnered with him in recent years (French Institute of Benin, French Lycée in Nigeria, French Alliance of Lagos, Cultural Space Gambidi Burkina Faso, Africa Art, Kauris of Afrik, AfricaFun, etc.)</p> <p>  </p> <p> We are seeking <strong>support from the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank community for an amount of 7 500 Euros</strong>, that represents a little bit over 50% of the total budget.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The funds that will be raised through our generous Kiss Kiss Bank Bank community will be used to support the following expenses:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em>Under the budget line "artistic creation of the album" <strong>6180 Euros</strong>: </em></u></p> <p> Ø Recording of 12 songs: 12 * 385 = 4620 Euros</p> <p> Ø Mixing of 12 pieces: 12 * 50 = 600 Euros</p> <p> Ø Mastering Album: 12 * 80 = 960 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em>Under the budget line "transport and accommodation Europe": <strong>1320 Euros</strong>: </em></u></p> <p> Ø Transport France-Belgium-Germany: 3 * 100 = 300 Euros</p> <p> Ø A portion of the hosting fees of the artist in Europe (equivalent to 12.75 days): 12.75 * 80 = 1020 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>If we exceed the amount targeted :-)</strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> The total budget announced in the introduction covers all the costs necessary for the making of the album in partnership with artists of different countries and also includes the duplication of copies of the album once finalized. If luckily the amount raised exceeds what we had initially expected, we can then take cover additional expenses such as:</p> <p> Ø expenses relating to the launch operation of the album (e.g. communication)</p> <p> Ø the expenses related to the various tours of the artist following the official launching of the Album</p> <p>  </p>
