The 10th edition of the first festival and professional market for music from Africa and the Middle East, Visa For Music, is scheduled for November 22 to 25, 2023 in Rabat. The call for applications is now open for artists wishing to participate and benefit from it.
According to its initiators, Visa For Music, born of the paradox between the significant dynamism of artistic creation in Africa and the Middle East and the lack of visibility of its artists, has given itself the mission of offering them a real forum for expression.
A unifying event, this festival represents to this day, a springboard of choice for its artists, because it promotes opportunities for meetings, helps to give them visibility and to receive the recognition they deserve.
This 10th edition of Visa for Music will celebrate the decade of the event in an integral format. Building on its live experiences since 2014, digital in 2020, hybrid in 2021 and full in 2022, 2023 will guarantee a unique experience, mixing concerts, live conferences and digital broadcasts.
Visa for Music 2023 will be the standard bearer for a renewal of priorities and orientations to build the cultural heritage of tomorrow in Africa and the Middle East.
It has the ambition for this year again, to confirm its role as an unmissable meeting place for artists and professionals in the music industry from all over the world: among others programmers, agents, labels, cultural institutions, foundations, media and trainers.
This year, around thirty artists/groups from Africa, the Middle East and around the world will be selected by a jury made up of personalities from culture and the world of music.
