The streamer said the forum named, Spotify Talks Africa, will be featuring panelists drawn from across the industry.<\/p>\n
The initiative, it is understood, will include artistes, producers, artist management, and Spotify Sub-Saharan Africa team members who are to provide insight into the role of streaming in the industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe African music industry has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years due to a variety of factors, including collaborations with local and international artists, music streaming, and social media,\u201d Spotify said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, only a select number of artists are enjoying this success, and many talented creators are still struggling to break through.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is why Spotify has launched Spotify Talks Africa, a video series that brings the continent\u2019s music industry stakeholders together in conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cCentral to this is how music streaming platforms like Spotify can contribute to this growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spotify said the forum, to be unveiled in form of a video series, will be released quarterly around specific industry issues.<\/p>\n
This, it said, would include how streaming is keeping legacy acts alive and the lived experiences of women in music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
