Music In Africa Gender @ Work is a three-year training programme aimed at upskilling and increasing the participation of female professionals in the African music sector. Launched by the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) in April 2019, the programme is connected to the MIAF’s ACCES music conference – a pan-African event held in a different African country every year. This connection enables the programme to reach new participants in a different African country every year. The programme marks the beginning of a more concerted effort by the Foundation to support the participation and inclusion of women in all facets of its programmes and the music sector in Africa as a whole. Over the three years, the programme will aim to address gender imbalances in the sector through training, lobbying, facilitating knowledge exchange and dialogues that foster the interest of women. The broader objectives of the programme are to: Provide industry training for women on critical music industry skills, focusing on: Stage management Electronic music production and recording Music business management Technical knowledge Provide an opportunity for both professional and aspiring women to benefit from the Music In Africa network and its broad range of activities in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Offer participants the opportunity to benefit from programmes offered by MIAF’s partners. Increase access to educational materials. Integrate participants in the broader ACCES programme to maximise experience and exposure to the industry. Record and present training materials on the www.musicinafrica.net, including but not limited to tutorials, templates and other best-practice materials.

For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

10 clips qui font les tendances en RDC - Janvier 2022

Home/Non classé/10 clips qui font les tendances en RDC – Janvier 2022

Innoss’B fait danser avec  son single « Mortel-06 »,  qui est aussi le nom de son nouvel album publié le 26 décembre dernier. La chanson toujours aussi appréciée, a ambiancé les fêtes de fin d’année. Son clip est suivi plus d’un million de fois.

On l’attendait avec des sonorités langoureuses, Héritier Watanabe a surpris avec un titre dansant. Morceau inédit, clip coloré, avec « Wosso », Héritier a une fois de plus démontré ses talents de danseur.

Dans le lot des clips qui font danser, on retrouve « Kulumba », le nouveau clip de Robinio Mundimbu qui continue de faire parler de lui, malgré le fait qu’il soit censuré par les médias locaux en RDC.

Pson, prodige de la nouvelle scène congolaise, signe un nouveau single « Toluka Mbongo », une ode à la débrouillardise, le fameux « article 15 ». Petits boulots et commerces, emploi dans une entreprise, pour lui, tout travail doit être valorisé.

Dans son tout dernier clip « Kabila-Fatshi », le compositeur et slammeur, Yekima raconte avec un brin d’humour et imite avec voix et tenues vestimentaires les 3 chefs d’État congolais Kabila (Père et fils) et Félix Tshisekedi, l’actuel président de la RDC.

Les groupes de rap UDPS Music et Cité Zaïre présentent aussi leurs sorties musicales. Ils parlent des sujets tels que la carrière artistique, l’emploi, la politique et l’éducation.

La rappeuse congolaise Sista Becky nous régale dans « Doucement » issu de son nouvel EP baptisé Apéritif. Javaria et Déborah Ya Mado dévoilent leur complicité et forment un couple parfait dans « Posa ».
