THE CALL OF 1000 VOICES

The Call of 1000 Voices is an album, a bridge, and a movement initiated by Wise Atangana is a poet, musician, and visionary leader based in Ottawa.

Wise has witnessed too many artists leaving the capital region, not because they lack passion or talent, but because the local ecosystem doesn’t provide the space, resources, or recognition they deserve.

He himself had to leave Ottawa for a time to continue his artistic journey in Montreal,  a city where opportunities, networks, and creative infrastructures are stronger.
But instead of settling there, Wise chose to come back.
He returned to change the narrative,  to prove that artists shouldn’t have to leave home to succeed, that they can build, thrive, and shine right here in Ottawa-Gatineau.

This project is a creative revolution, a call to gather 1,000 Canadians in general, and 1,000 citizens of Ottawa-Gatineau in particular, to build a sustainable artistic ecosystem rooted in peace, love, resilience, and solidarity.
Each person who joins becomes part of a new story, one where art and community rise together.

By buying the album, you’re not just supporting an artist, you’re helping Wise Atangana hire a professional team, establish a global brand from Ottawa, and prove that the capital region can become a global creative hub.
