Artiste
Managers Association in Nigeria (AMAN) in line with one of its core objectives
in relation to midwifing the career of budding artistes from the point of their
initial obscurity to an obvious enhanced visibility in the mainstream
entertainment circuits and keeping to its mission statement as 'Springboard to
Stardom' has established a project which would ensure a promulgation of its
basic modus operandi – grooming talents.
The franchise
project tagged AMAN Beach Concert (ABC 2019) is geared towards promoting
artistes locally and internationally thereby creating jobs for young people,
stimulating local economy for communities, enhancing tourism and showcasing the
arts and culture of Nigeria.
The
unveiling of the organizing committee and showcasing some of the participating
AMAN artistes for the maiden edition of ABC2019 is taking place at La Grande
Event Centre, opposite the French Village Badagry, Lagos on the 28th of July
2018.
This event
will be marked with an elaborate fun fair to signal the dawn of a new beginning
in the evolution of Nigerian new wave music business entrepreneurship and
promotion of the Afro Hip-Hop culture from the point where the music left our
shores originally due to the scourge of slave trade, which has marked out
Badagry as a destination of historical relevance and undeniably a town of
interest in relation to its tourism potentials.
"The
generosity of our supporting artistes and members has been so substantial that
we have been able to make hundreds of dreams a reality. Dreams that may have
simply stayed as dreams and nothing more, if not for the ever-growing work of
our team and of those who want to enhance African Music,"
says Collins Enebeli (Mavin Grandpa) President of the body.
He further said "I am proud and moved by the large
strides made by our growing association which, in such a brief period, has
profoundly impacted so many lives. I am in awe of how significantly we are
affecting the lives of future African music makers."
AMAN aims
to contribute towards the stimulation of the local economy in various ways by
our interventionist approach in developing and promoting our arts and culture
from this location despite the infrastructural challenges and other related
issues of concern.
The
program of the day will run as follows:
1 - Breakfast in La Grande – 10am.
