Event Description:
This event is produced by MFM President Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi aka SoSaLa and the round table host will be David Gilden .
This MFM event is the first time to bring together musicians who have spent a significant amount of time in Africa to further their artistry. The panel will discuss their experiences in Africa and deep immersion in a foreign culture, experiences that can be realized no other way.
The MFM members on the panel will share not only their anecdotes and achievements but also talk about the value of learning and experiencing African music at its origin. This is why we should encourage young musicians and academics to travel and gain exposure to African culture, firsthand, and develop lifelong friendships and collaborative partnerships.
