Event Description:
Join SocietyHAE.com for a multimedia presentation
on social media and music in Africa and how both are helping to
re-shape and re-define the continent.
Often
when one thinks of Africa the images that come to mind are that
of poverty, civil unrest, AIDS and corruption. There are however
a new cadre of young artists that are re-defining Africa and
challenging the public's perception of Africa and its people.
Through music and social media African artists are connecting
with people beyond their countries borders and providing them
with a glimpse of life in Africa and introducing the world first
had to the creative mind and spirit of the people. This shift
has major implications for artists, the music industry and
brands who are looking to expand into new markets and find
creative ways to engage their audiences.
“This Is Africa… How Music and Social Media
Are Re-defining A Continent” will look at how Africans are
using social media to market their music and connect with the
world. Through conversation and visuals the panel will also
introduce attendees to Africa’s rising music talent.
Finally the event will close with a DJ set and performance by
African Artists.
