The pan-African music conference for Collaborations, Exchange and Showcases ACCES 2019 held in Accra, Ghana hosted a panel discussion about Africa’s music streaming economy titled Algorithms and Playlists: The Hitmakers of the Streaming Era?
The session comprised top music industry panelists such as Apprise Music founder and CEO Michael Bamfo (Ghana), MusicTime and Simfy Africa CEO Oye Akideinde (Nigeria), Boomplay Music Ghana manager Elizabeth Ntiamoah (Ghana), Believe Distribution Services label manager for world music Michèle Beltan (France), and Impact Hub Accra founding partner and COO Kelechi Ofoegbu.
