One issue regarding inclusivity and expertise is the systematic omission of North African musical genres when discussing African or MENA music. It is important to recognize and appreciate the diverse contributions of North African music in these contexts. By highlighting genres like Moroccan Gnawa, Algerian Rai, Arab-Andalusian music, Amazigh music, Sahraoui music, or Chaabi music, we can promote a more inclusive and accurate understanding of African and MENA music.

I had the opportunity to present the African music industry for a room of investors at the SuperReturn conference in Cape Town last week, here are my 6 key pointers. Do you think I missed anything?1. Global trend towards investment in music rights; Google's investment in Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), Blackstone's investments in major catalogues (fx Timberlake and Bieber), industry analysts report a consistent 5-10% annual return on music right funds.2. Currently only 1% of the global royalties are from Sub Sahara Africa however 15% of the global population are in Sub Sahara Africa, this is presenting a huge growth opportunity as the continent gets online.3. Africa is the fastest growing music industry in the world with an impressive 34% growth in 2022. IFPI4. There has been numerous investment and M&A activities across Africa the last couple of years: Chocolate City Music, AFRICORI, YNBL, Ziiki Media, A.I Records and Mavin Records (public rumours).5. There’s limited reporting and tracking of industry performance, only South Africa is included in official global reports, with that in mind the African music is expected to have a market size of $300m in 2025, an impressive 4x growth from 2021 to 2025. This is still peanuts compared to Korean led by K-POP ($10bn) and LATAM led by Reggaeton ($1.1bn) that Africa is walking in the footsteps of.6. The unique market structures (or lack of the same) has made it difficult for global music (and movie) streaming services to convert awareness to real traction across key markets in Africa, this requires either (1) a local approach to business model and monetisation or (2) a focus on monetising outside of Africa.(Side note: this is not only the case in Africa but also in India and South East Asia that I'm aware of where especially access and cost of internet is a barrier)Thanks to Niall Naidoo for facilitating the discussion and Derrick Ashong for his unique insights into the music industry as well as a thanks to all the conference participants for intriguing conversations.Mdundo.com

There are times when our songs may be used in a way that we had not originally intended them to. What do you do when folks who you don’t agree with use your songs to advance their own political purposes?#politics #music #campaignmusic #prejippie #bloomingprejippiehttps://lnkd.in/gkbdxne4
