(South Africa) March 1, 2011 – Take note music magicians, beat-makers, dance-floor movers, prodigious producers and soulful singers keen to take their craft to the next level. As part of the application phase to the Red Bull Music Academy 2011, three free workshops will be hosted across South Africa in March to help guide and inspire prospective applicants. Black Coffee, a past participant at the Red Bull Music Academy held in Cape Town in 2003 – and now one of the most successful DJ producers in South Africa – will be the main guest as part of these laid-back chit-chat sessions on the couch.
For music makers keen to apply for the Academy* – taking place in Tokyo from October 23 to November 4, and November 13 to November 25, 2011 – the Cape Town workshop will be held at Chrome on Wednesday, March 23 @ 19h30.
Intimate, interactive and informative, the workshops are rare opportunities to meet alumni of the Red Bull Music Academy experience, and receive advice and tips on the comprehensive application process to attend the Academy. Part of similar workshops in over 50 countries worldwide, they will be followed by after-dark performances by South African alumni of the Academy, with Black Coffee as the headline DJ.
“The workshops in SA will be a taste of what it’s like to attend the Academy,” says Black Coffee, Red Bull Music Academy alumnus. “If you’re serious about getting picked, find the time to check one out. For anyone who wants to take their music career to the next level, the Academy offers the chance to work with some ridiculously talented people and learn more than you can imagine about producing and performing music.”
