Cabo Verde Vis a Vis
Casa África, in collaboration with AECID, SGAE, the Spanish embassy in Cape Verde, the Technical Cooperation Office and the Praia City Government, is once again setting into motion this great opportunity for African musicians.
It consists of the second edition of a meeting (the first one took place in Dakar last year) between African musicians and Spanish producers for improving knowledge about African music on an international level.
The procedure to participate in the meeting is for all the groups to register at the Cape Verde Vis a Vis website. The groups selected will have the opportunity to meet and present their work to Spanish producers at special business meetings, as well as to perform live at the best establishments in the city of Praia (Island of Santiago, Cape Verde).
The two groups selected by Spanish producers will be able to perform in Spain at the third edition of Africa Vive 2011.
All the groups interested in participating must register before March 20th at the www.caboverdevisavis.net website and include their music, photographs, videos, biography, news articles and anything they believe to be helpful for the producers to become more familiar with them. The bands selected to perform live that do not reside on the Island of Santiago will receive 44,000 escudos from the organisation to cover travel and lodging expenses.
The Spanish producers will travel to Cape Verde from the 6th to the 10th of April to meet directly with the groups of their interest, hold business meetings, and watch them perform live.
