This Is Africa is about trends, style and urban cool in
Africa, be that in contemporary music, dance, fashion, or design, but
especially in music.
It's about getting a heads up on the modern side of the motherland
by the new generation of culturally creative and globally-connected
Africans both home and abroad. You'll get updates about upcoming
events, new release updates, and online radio with playlists created
for a young global audience. You'll also get to know the sharpest
trendsetters and cultural pioneers on the continent, what they're in
to and why you may wanna check it out, too.
So, culture vultures and music fanatics the world over, and
everyone with even a passing interest in Africa beyond the stereotypes,
we welcome you with open arms. And if you've a blogger or vlogger with
something to say about Africa, get in touch; we're always looking for
new contributors (see below).
Our world is your world, so make yourself at home.
CONTRIBUTORS WANTED
Are you in plugged into your country's contemporary urban music
scene, in touch with the cutting edge of street fashion, graphic
design, dance, or generally the first to know about the coolest things
happening in your city? Just as important, can you tell a story in
striking images (moving or static, video or photo-essay)?
If so, and if you're based in an African city, get in touch. We're
looking for people with a good "eye" to capture the sub-cultures and
happenings that contribute to your city's vibe.
If you're already a vlogger /blogger and have something to show
us, send us your URL; let's have a look-see. If not, but have examples
of what you're capable of, that'll do, too.
Look forward to hearing from you.
