The BlackStar Music Concert (BMC)
BMC, which happens within the Festival, is directed at musicians’ especially young budding talented music creatives in Africa including singers, instrumentalists, composers, music producers and sound engineers.
The concert is to provide a platform for these new talents to be recognized by relevant new audiences, and share their talent and creativity with these audiences. BSIFF’s partnership with key stakeholders in the music industry can lead some of these artistes to great deals that push their careers to the next level.
