Accompaniment program for musicians with talent and ambition in Matongé
February – June 2020
Muziekpublique is looking for musical talent in Matongé. With the project ”Matongé Sounds“, we want to invest in local groups and musicians, give them a chance to grow and show their talent to a wide audience. In this manner, we want to make Matongé a cultural attraction once again.
We appeal to all musicians who play world music (in the broadest sense) and link up with Matongé.

ACCOMPANIMENT PROGRAM
