KZN MUSIC IMBIZO



KZN Music Imbizo is back for the sixth time in seven years. The premier music business exhibition and conference, which has been independently run since 2007, will take place at the Royal Hotel (Durban) from August 29 to 31, 2013.

“KZN Music Imbizo is an independent annual music business exhibition and conference that is held in Durban (South Africa). The conference collects various music industry stakeholders under one roof to map the way forward for the KwaZulu-Natal music industry. It is a platform to exhibit, network, share expertise and knowledge “explains Sphe Mbhele, the project manager.

The event theme for 2013 is the question “Is The Industry Is Dead?” It will concentrate on the independent recording labels, support structures plus new and existing revenue streams. A special session on eventing and event licenses is on the cards. True to its slogan “Music Is Business To My Ears”, the KZN Music Imbizo is all about practical ways in which all involved in the music industry can exploit their talents for financial gain.
