Gender@Work
Gender@Work

Music In Africa Gender @ Work is a three-year training programme aimed at upskilling and increasing the participation of female professionals in the African music sector. Launched by the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) in April 2019, the programme is connected to the MIAF’s ACCES music conference – a pan-African event held in a different African country every year. This connection enables the programme to reach new participants in a different African country every year. The programme marks the beginning of a more concerted effort by the Foundation to support the participation and inclusion of women in all facets of its programmes and the music sector in Africa as a whole. Over the three years, the programme will aim to address gender imbalances in the sector through training, lobbying, facilitating knowledge exchange and dialogues that foster the interest of women. The broader objectives of the programme are to: Provide industry training for women on critical music industry skills, focusing on: Stage management Electronic music production and recording Music business management Technical knowledge Provide an opportunity for both professional and aspiring women to benefit from the Music In Africa network and its broad range of activities in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Provide a solution-based platform in the form of a round table at ACCES with a view to identify challenges, discuss opportunities and lobby for the interests of female practitioners. Offer participants the opportunity to benefit from programmes offered by MIAF’s partners. Increase access to educational materials. Integrate participants in the broader ACCES programme to maximise experience and exposure to the industry. Record and present training materials on the www.musicinafrica.net, including but not limited to tutorials, templates and other best-practice materials. Communicate women-based themes that support the initiatives and messages of the programme.

Sound Connects Fund

For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

BIO

60 Hertz Project is a live band and musical production team formed in June 2009 in Ga‑Rankuwa, Pretoria, South Africa. The project was founded by Gosiame "BlackJean" Maodi and co‑founded by Siphiwe "SDK" Daniel Kumalo, both serving as the primary composers and authors behind the music created under 60 Hertz Project. Their sound is rooted in Jazzy House, Deep House, Broken Beats, Lounge, Afro House, and Soulful House, driven by a musician and a producer. Over the years, 60 Hertz Project has showcased their work on major platforms including KZN Music Imbizo 2018, Ekurhuleni Music Festival, North West Jazz Festival, corporate events, year‑end functions, and private weddings. Their music has received national and international airplay on Metro FM, Motsweding FM, Lesedi FM, Vuzu TV, Channel O, and Deeper Shades of House. The band has collaborated with global artists such as Dolls Combers and FastVisionSoul, releasing standout projects like Mother Earth Calls Italy EP and the #1 chart‑topping Capricorn EP, remixed by Essential I, Ralf GUM, and QB Smith, as well as Tapta Beach EP, remixed by Manoo and Trancemicsoul, featured on compilations by DJ Christos and Ralf GUM.
