DISCOP is unveiling DISCORE, a new business-to-business program intended to bring the world of music production closer to the African editions of the DISCOP film, television and digital content markets.<\/p>\n
DISCORE\u00a0will be launched at\u00a0DISCOP Johannesburg, which will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre from October 25 to 27. DISCORE will kick off at C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire during the next\u00a0Abidjan\u00a0edition of\u00a0DISCOP, which will be held May 29 to 31. DISCORE\u00a0will be co-organized with Nairobi-based\u00a0PHAT! Music & Entertainment, under its social enterprise arm,\u00a0ONGEA! Africa. The new event is designed as a knowledge-transfer and matchmaking program that will specifically target African-based creative, production and technical experts from within the pan-African music industry.<\/p>\n
From\u00a0<\/strong>2018, all\u00a0DISCOP\u00a0Africa\u00a0<\/strong>markets will include a\u00a0<\/strong>full-day\u00a0DISCORE\u00a0program that will provide participants with information and tools, along with access to networking opportunities and meetings. DISCORE\u00a0will take place three times in 2018 and four times a year at the four African DISCOP markets from 2019: Nigeria (March), Abidjan (May), Zanzibar (July) and South Africa (October).<\/p>\n \u201cThe conflation of the music, film, television and digital content industries continues at a rapid pace as storytelling recipes change to adapt to the commercial imperatives of an increasing global market for diversified content,\u201d said Patrick Zuchowicki, the general manager of\u00a0DISCOP.<\/p>\n ONGEA! Africa\u2019s founding director, Mike Strano, commented, \u201cIt is clear that within this global context, the time is right for African music creators and producers to stake their claim, as the demand for more original scores, and particularly for African sounds, is rising fast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DISCOP is unveiling DISCORE, a new business-to-business program intended to bring the world of music production closer to the African editions of the DISCOP film, television and digital content markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[189,355,356,357],"class_list":["post-1787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-discop","tag-discore","tag-ongea-africa","tag-phat-music-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"\n
