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

L'orchestre MAYA-MAYA est dirigé par l'international artiste Congolais, le Maestro TCHICOTCHICAYA ; chanteur, guitariste, auteur-compositeur et arrangeur qui a accumulé une très grande et riche expérience à travers le monde. Avec les jeunes talents congolais, ils ont décidé de travailler la musique dans le respect de l'esprit hérité de leurs aînés des 3 courants musicaux qui fondent la Rumba congolaise ancrée dans les traditions Bantu. Dans cette expérience les musiciens de l'orchestre MAYA-MAYA ont montré leur capacité d'assimilation et de maîtrise des exigences des scènes nationales et internationales qui ont façonné la vision qu'ils ont aujourd'hui de la musique congolaise. Vision qu'ils veulent partager lors de chacune de leurs prestations.

Le Maestro TCHICO-TCHICAYA a fait des grandes tournées en Afrique et à travers le monde, des tournées de prestiges qui l'ont conduit en Afrique Centrale, Afrique de l'Ouest, Afrique de l'Est ; l'Europe, les USA, l'Australie, l'Amérique latine (Cuba) et les Caraïbes (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominique) ainsi que vers l'océan indien : l'île de la Réunions et Zanzibar. TCHICO-TCHICAYA leader de l'orchestre MAYA-MAYA est considéré par ses paires congolais comme l'un des meilleurs auteurs compositeurs les plus inventifs de sa générations et celui qui sait aussi changer la donne et la direction dans la façon de travailler les harmonies, les tempos et les rimes des mots dans l'écriture d'une chanson. Il sait tirer partie et avantages de sa qualité de polyglotte, car Il chante et compose en plusieurs langues (Lingala, Kongo, Français, Anglais, Espagnole, Sango et Swahili...). Il est l'un des artistes congolais le plus créatif et très talentueux. Il a reçu le prix du Meilleur " orchestre de scène " en l' 2000 " Best Live Music Awards " en Australie.

Il est aujourd'hui à la tête de l'orchestre MAYA-MAYA qui réunit deux voire trois générations des musiciens, afin d'étendre des sonorités et enrichir encore d'avantage les charmes de la Rumba Congolaise.
