Visa For Music call for applications for 2020 Africa music meeting

Share

Visa For Music has a goal to highlight the artistic creation of Africa and the Middle-East.

Born out of the lack of visibility for African and Middle-Eastern artists at an international level, the annual music industry meeting seeks to increase the visibility of music from Morocco, Africa and around the world.

Each year, 30 artists or groups are selected by a jury to perform in front of various industry professionals.

In its 7th edition, applications are open for Visa For Music 2020 and the deadline is 31 March 2020.
