The South African entertainment industry takes another spin as it introduces the South African Music Week (SAMW), a new annual cross-border collaborative event that will take place on January 26- 28.
Drawing inspiration from the world-respected Canadian Music Week, SAMW will see South Africa and Canada come together to explore ways in which to maximise how music, technology and business are converging and to forge a new path for success for all musicians.
Themed ‘Music in the 4IR’, the event comprises three days of online panel discussions, a virtual expo, music performances, B2B networking and an industry Hall of Honours event.
