North Africa is rapidly becoming one of the world's fastest-growing music markets, with a creative scene that is increasingly influencing global sounds. BumaStemra and Dutch Music Export are collaborating to strengthen the ties between the Dutch and North African music industries.
On Wednesday, 24 September 2026, we will gather a select group of BumaStemra members, publishers, music professionals, songwriters, and producers for Connecting Sounds: North Africa. This event will be a full day dedicated to knowledge exchange, panel discussions, and networking at Cruise Control Studios, Amsterdam. In early 2027, a creative music mission will be organized as a follow-up. More information will be provided soon.

The afternoon will begin with a welcome address from BumaStemra and Dutch Music Export, followed by keynote sessions on the North African music market, panel discussions with industry experts from the Netherlands and North Africa, a roundtable on international collaboration and rights, and networking drinks.
