🎤 Talk & 🎧 Podcast

📅 Monday 10th Feb 2025

This coming Monday, we are hosting a conversation with Coco M in Kigali. 🎶

As part of the Jaba Events experience and in partnership with Pass Pass, our venue partner L'Espace will host a session delving into the role of social justice in the creative industries.

Emma Nzioka has a unique musical journey and uses her reach to tackle and discuss broader challenges and opportunities that African artists navigate, from cultural expression to social activism.

To provide context, African artists continue to face significant barriers despite the global impact of their work. The Schengen Area alone generates over €45 billion annually from African tourists, yet many African artists struggle with visibility and opportunities. In recent years, over 1,000 tours by African artists were canceled, and some tragically lost their lives due to external factors.

This event is an opportunity to reflect on the state of the music industry and the importance of supporting African talent. For more details, feel free to read the full press release.
