About this listen

 On this episode, we spotlight an inspiring initiative that recently wrapped up in Ibadan – a five-day intensive training programme designed to prepare Nigerian artists for the prestigious MASA 2026 Performing Arts Festival in Abidjan. The training was powered by Arts Connect Africa in partnership with MASA, the Embassy of Spain, the Spanish Cooperation Office, and Ckrowd. It brought together artists across music, dance, theatre, spoken word, and more – all to equip them with tools for success on international stages. Joining us to share more about this remarkable programme is Olukayode Adebayo, a seasoned professional in the Creative & Culture Industries, Media, Events, Technology, and Consultancy, is the Convener of the African Music and Cultural Expo (Amfest Expo), orchestrating bespoke culture professionals gatherings across the African Continent and beyond, fostering enterprise development, and facilitating invaluable networking opportunities for culture industry practitioners. Kayode is the Founder/CEO of Ckrowd.com and Board Director for the Arts Connect Africa (ACA), A Music Business Education & Digital Profiling Platform for Music Industry Professionals.
