Loooong overdue. We connected with Ikenna a couple of years ago (already!!) in Amsterdam, and we've been avidly watching his What's Up Africa webisodes. Give Ikenna a couple minutes of your time... cheers to Boima and Ghetto Bassquake for bringing Liberian flyness to...

Rehashing the most recent Lungu Lungu column over at Fader: If you spend a few days in Ghana, you’ll hear mostly upbeat dance music. On the radio, at bars or in clubs. It might lead you to believe that all popular music in Ghana is music to dance to. At least I...

Music is our business…
Throughout the months of October and November this year, the international workshop program “Buzz Meets Biz” is taking place in Germany, Spain, and Ghana, bringing together young music professionals from the mentioned nations plus the UK. Not only active artists but also promoters, bloggers, label owners, and other professionals in the musical field are involved, covering all kinds of modern genres. Through networking, sharing knowledge and experiences, and participating in educative workshops, these young creatives will be inspired and taught to take confident and smart steps in the tough world of show biz.
PART 3 – ACCRA, GHANA
November 18 – 30, 2017
The third and last part of the mobility program will take place here in Accra. Complementing the two past workshop series on the economic issues of music, this session will focus on music itself. Creativity process, production, performance and an insight into the Ghanaian music scene will all contribute to the grand finale of this international project.
The mobility program is organized in cooperation of Akwaaba Music, Music Pool Berlin, iRights, Fundación SGAE, Cooperación Española, Goethe-Institut and the Alliance Française Accra. The programme is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and Goethe-Institut Ghana.
