The event which took place at the at Crowne Plaza Hotel, The Rose Bank, brought together policy makers, artistes, media executives, music producers, record label owners, music entrepreneurs and enthusiasts, as well as government officials and AFRIMA partners, to discuss strategies and actions needed to create better opportunities for stakeholders from southern Africa in the AFRIMA initiative.
AFRIMA Communication and Sponsorship Director, Matlou Tsotsetsi, expressed keenness in engaging those critical to the awards process to give them a platform for knowledge sharing and capacity building, according to a statement from AFRIMA.
“Without the artistes and allied professionals in the music industry there can be no awards to give out. The International Committee of AFRIMA appreciates the support of the South African music industry and Africa at large for aligning with the vision and objectives of AFRIMA which are aimed at continental integration towards a peaceful and prosperous Africa using the platform of art and music,” Tsotsetsi said.
The AFRIMA team is also expected to speak on the 2015 AFRIMA Entry Submission which closes on Monday July 20, and other build-up events which include the Africa Music Summit, and the AFRIMA Music Village, towards 2015 AFRIMA ceremony coming up between November 13 and 15.
