African Music Business Dialogues platforms viral dancers
The AMBD conference has always championed important music industry discussions with some past speakers, including sound engineer Kofi ‘IamBeatMenace’ Boachie-Ansah and Afro Nation Ghana festival boss Ruddy Kwakye.
Running under the theme, "Our Sound, Our Identity, Our Revenue: Collaboration, Innovation, and Global Impact of African Music," this year's event will, for the first time, feature viral dancers from the DWP Academy, Endurance Grand and Official Starter.
According to music executive and talent manager Yaw Boadu-Ayebofoh, who will also speak on viral music marketing at the conference, "sidelining these dance creators for a conference of such scale is unhealthy," he told YEN.com.gh
"These dancers have been at the forefront of some of the biggest gains and moments we've experienced as an industry. A future without them is impossible, and it's exciting to see them get a seat in the room," he added during an exclusive chat with YEN.com.gh about the upcoming conference.
The African Music Business Dialogues was founded by Ghanaian musician and label executive Enoch Nana Yaw Oduro-Agyei, popularly known as Trigmatic, in 2022.
This year's event will also have various other speakers across the value chain, including Elizabeth Ntimoah, Country Manager of Boomplay Ghana and Charlene Osei-Mensah, Country Manager of Tieme Music, which recently brought Kwesi Arthur, onto its roster.
