Opportunities in Africa
Welcome to the February 2018 theme page. As part of our many ordinances to support music professionals on the continent, Music In Africa strives to share with our readership the various opportunities that exist for musicians and fans.
At Music in Africa we are painfully aware that opportunities in the African music scene are far and few between; it’s no secret that the music industry on the continent needs to be developed much further. But there are a number of laudable organisations out there that work closely with the sector to improve it by investing in developmental programmes.
Opportunities for players in the industry can take many forms, such as workshops, music markets, conferences, awards, mobility programmes, talent search efforts, scholarships, artist residencies and exchange programmes. Our job is to publicise calls for such opportunities with our readers, and hopefully get them to benefit from them.
In our news section, you will see almost on a daily basis calls from around Africa inviting musicians to participate in various programmes – most of them free of charge – which are designed to further their careers. In addition, we have forged many partnerships with concert and festival organisers across the continent to offer ticket giveaways for fans who want to attend some of Africa’s top events.
So be sure to check in with us throughout the month of February to find out how you can take advantage of these opportunities.
