In its continual drive to build capacity for knowledge sharing among African music professionals and culture enthusiasts, the sixth All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) will host music and culture industry stakeholders at a stakeholders’ conference on Friday, June 28, 2019.
This will take place at the Las Vegas VIP, Sable, Bonamoissadi, Douala, Cameroon.
The AFRIMA-Cameroon conference will specifically reveal details of the sixth AFRIMA entry submission process and other programmes for the annual continental awards to effectively engage music talents and content creators who are key stakeholders and beneficiaries of the awarding process.
The sixth AFRIMA entry submissions which end on Friday, August 2, 2019 is open for entries to artistes, songwriters, video directors, producers, dancers/choreographers, DJs and unrecorded artistes of African origin living on the continent and diaspora.
According to the AFRIMA Regional Director, Central Africa, Ernest Ewane, “AFRIMA is sharing the spirit of Pan-Africanism for greater collaborations in culture, music and entertainment for sustainable development in line with the African Union (AU) cultural agenda for peace building, integration, democracy, economic advancement and youth social development.”
The conference will also focus on AFRIMA 2019 build-up events which include turn up Africa music concert & conference, the adjudication process, the nominees’ announcement, public voting, as well as the main awards ceremony events such as the Africa music business summit, the AFRIMA music village, and the awards night which comes up in November.
Expected to attend the event in Cameroon will be music professionals, creative experts, cultural industry practitioners, recording artistes, record labels, artiste managers, publishing companies, policy makers, government officials, business and media practitioners in Cameroon and neighbouring countries.
