Abstract: This paper is an analysis of the heroic songs of the griot Kulba Baaba from Niger. It aims at contributing to promote culture, especially the Songhay-Zarma one, through cultural Renaissance in Niger. It puts emphasis on the respect of the principles of the constitution by encouraging the Nigerien citizen to have certain moral values such as courage, dignity, and loyalty. Its core focus is to show that oral literature can be one of the means to sensitize the Nigerien citizen to a change of mentality for the well-being of the nation.
