Key Objectives: Support employment and entrepreneurship in the creative industries. Offer skills development and training programmes. Foster partnerships between public and private creative sectors.

Gender@Work

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. Provide a solution-based platform in the form of a round table at ACCES with a view to identify challenges, discuss opportunities and lobby for the interests of female practitioners. 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. Communicate women-based themes that support the initiatives and messages of the programme. MAIN TRAINING ACTIVITIES Training in first country (Ghana): In the first year, participants will be trained on all aspects of stage management by a team of experienced stage managers from 10 to 17 November 2019.

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.

BIO

ATTENTRAP, rythme explosif, parole forte et consciente, le groupe Attentrap répond aux perpétuels attentats de la société par une musique tranchante et une attitude positive et décidée. Amath et Bass deux artistes sénégalais créent ce groupe de banlieue dakaroise en 2000. Ils seront plutard rejoints par de jeunes musiciens congolais, béninois et centre africain pour donner naissance à une démarche artisitique interculturel dont les bases se situent dans la promotion d’un acquis panafricain.
Attentrap est un réceptacle d’inspiration artistique multiculturelle aux sonorités pshycadéliques d’Afrique de l’ouest et du centre sur un style Hip Hop, Afro et électrique.
Attentrap est l’un des premiers groupes sénégalais à avoir expérimenté le “Live Band” dans le Hip Hop (Amath est bassite et Basse est guitariste), sur scène le groupe propose une interaction électrique entre la basse et la guitare des deux Mcs.
Le message a été convaincant: le groupe a gagné au printemps 2008 le concours “Talent Show” du meilleur groupe de rap organisé par les écoles et Universités du Sénégal. le single “I’m sorry” et l’album “Sunu Wall” ont été nominés aux Hip Hop awards de Dakar en 2010. En 2011 le groupe enchaîne les scènes et gagne en notoriété; la scène de la francophonie, les 72H de Hip Hop sénégalais, la tournée “Sunu Wall” et enfin la sorie des singles “Real Nigga” en 2013 et “Saf ci” en 2014 suivi de la tournée “Attent Live Tour”.Aujourd’hui Attentrap est en studio pour produire son prochain album live et travaille en même temps un spectacle inédit de 2H de live qui accompagnera la promotion de l’album.
