We have convened two influential annual conferences in Africa, notably in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 2021, and Durban, South Africa, in 2023. These gatherings have been pivotal in facilitating dialogue, sharing insights, and forging partnerships across the music industry.
In a consultation with Carnegie Hall, we planned a celebration to mark 30 years of Democracy in South Africa, showcasing the depth and diversity of African music heritage.
Our ongoing cultural exchange projects span across continents, partnering with organizations in Latin America, the US, and Europe to enrich and diversify the cultural dialogue.
The creation of regional touring networks in Africa has been a landmark achievement, facilitating the mobility of artists and the spread of African music across borders.
Our initiatives have been recognized and supported through a grant from the US Embassy in Zimbabwe, underscoring our commitment to developing the African music scene.
During the pandemic, we innovatively matched African artists with promoters of major events outside the continent, bringing digital content to new audiences and paving the way for digital cultural exchanges.
