16 DAYS 2012 FLAME WORKSHOPS

Rudo Chasi, Guitarist with Frank on Understanding the PA System
This year FLAME received a grant from AWDF(African Women Development Fund) to host a Workshop for Women Artist by Women Artists in Harare.  The workshop which was attended by over 15 participants dealt with issues on HIV/AIDS and the Artist, Marketing, Branding & Internet, Basic Copyright(many thanks to ZIMURA, Zimbabwe Music Rights Association), Image & Stagecraft, Dealing with Audiences, Casts & Crews.
Akua Naru on Marketing, Branding & Internet
Is the 'Manager' so important for an artist?  Responding to this Akua Naru's manager Judith Zeegeglar said that "Finding a manager should be the last on your list of priorities for an artist.  Get your act together first, know what you want and shape your brand first and then when you can no longer cope then, may be get a manager."  Wise words indeed because most artists don't make much and to find a manager when you are trying to find your feet means you have to share the little earnings with the band if you are musician plus a certain percentage goes to the manager which may leave you struggling always.
