More than 80 different ethnic groups, over 200 dialects spoken lies a land in Africa known for its own script. One of the world’s popular beverages, coffee was discovered in its region called Kaffa. With this you must have already figured out what am talking about. You must be probably right. “The cradle of mankind”, Ethiopia. It is a beautiful city with a unique people’s culture and typography.
Apart from
all this interesting facts, an exciting music collaboration took place at its
capital Addis Ababa. ACCES (Music in Africa Collaborations, Exchange and
Showcases) started here in 2016. By that time it was a small feature on the
Music in Africa Foundation’s AGM Plus programme. Legendary Etgio-Jazz musician Mulatu Astatke
was the keynote address; attended by delegates from more than 15 African
countries. Years later, in 2017, ACCES
is launched as a fully-fledged international event drawing participants from
all over the world. It is for this reason and many more; why you should be part
of this amazing program this year.
Here is your
chance to prove your shine on to the rest of the world. There is talent in Africa. What more can be
done if we don’t work on what we have and utilize on opportunities presented to
us.
Organized by
the Music in Africa Foundation, ACCES Africa 2020 will encompass various
activities. Among them including pitch sessions, hub exhibitions, panel
discussions and networking sessions. It will feature over 80 speakers and
