Call for registration: Andariya workshop and concert in Egypt

Andariya founder Omnia Shawkat will conduct the training on digital branding while South Sudanese poet Ade the Truth and Sudanese artists Barood Black and Salma Palmer will facilitate the music workshop. The three artists will also perform at the concert alongside Kawaja Revolution (South Sudan), Dennis Denaya (South Sudan) and Mohamed Hashim (Sudan).

In November, Andariya held similar workshops in Kampala, Uganda. "We sought independent artists for our project and most artists who applied for the Kampala edition were woke and very active in their expression of how they feel about the status of various issues in society," Shawkat told Music In Africa.

"We don’t encourage or discourage any form of music creation; we support their capacity to carry this art forward and provide the stage for them to do so. We are proud of how engaged our artists are with diverse issues and believe in all arts with a mission to entertain and educate."

Registration is free and interested individuals can access the application form here.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

• How to create engaging content online.
• How to grow your brand using social media marketing.
• How to identify and utilise opportunities with various stakeholders.
• How to manage your online reputation including negative reviews.
• Best platforms to market music and reach a wider audience.
