The AMBS is Africa’s largest gathering of creative professionals in the music industry and it features workshops and panel discussions on issues and opportunities within the African music industry.

The 8th AFRIMA will continue with high momentum at the AFRIMA Music Village at the Grand Theatre, which will be a free-to-enter concert featuring live performances from the biggest music stars across the continent.

On the eve of the awards ceremony, on Saturday January 14, 2023, the events will begin with Main rehearsals, Media engagements and a Courtesy Visit to the Presidentof Senegal. There will also be a live recording booth at the venue for musicians across all five regions of the continent, and in the diaspora, to explore for collaborative recordings.  The day’s activities will climax with a Nominees exclusive party.

Bakhayoko said, “We are happy that the 8th AFRIMA will be held in Dakar, Senegal. This is historic for us. We are happy to host the rest of the world, and showcase the beauty of our Senegalese culture and scenery. This will sharpen our global image, as a prime destination for tourism and a culturally-rich community.”

On his part, the AFRIMA Country Director for Senegal, Mahktar Diop, said that the ‘Teranga edition’ is “for everyone, and not just Senegal.”

He said, “This is the time for Africa. It is time for us to come together. AFRIMA is bringing all these stars together to share not just their art, but their cultures as well.”

Commenting on the event itinerary, Dada said, “The 8th AFRIMA is not just another regular music festival.  We are an institution committed to promoting African music, across the continent and in the world. The Teranga edition is here and it is something we are all proud of.”
