The formalisation and professionalisation of instrument-making in Africa

The overarching objective of Music In Africa Foundation’s Instrument Building and Repair (IBR) project is to encourage the formalisation and professionalisation of instrument-making and repair in Africa, especially in relation to indigenous African instruments. This project has enabled the Foundation to train young people to make instruments, while providing online tutorials to a wider audience across the continent. The programme also includes performances and public dialogues around African instruments.
