“The Music Imbizo is delighted to host esteemed organisations such as Sheer Publishing and the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission along with representatives from Creative Art Collage.
“We are also privileged to welcome festival directors from prestigious events like AZGO Festival (Mozambique) and Jacaranda Music Festival (Zimbabwe), among others,” Mbhele said.
He said musicians should come in their numbers to meet each other, share knowledge about the music industry and grow.
“The event will also be attended by radio station music compilers who will listen and give advice. Those who want to learn more about music as the business better attend.
“Many things will be happening at ICC but there will be other activities in other places around Durban. There will also be film viewing,” Mbhele said.
He said other places that will be used as music concerts will be The Warehouse, Stable Theatre, and The Chairman.
“There will also be music writing masterclasses to be led by Nana Atta and Yanga Chief while there will also be sessions to produce the music,” he added.
