Through this workshop, we help participants to develop their artistic senses in the service of multimedia and to sharpen their curiosity for musical culture beyond their chosen fields. They develop new ways of perceiving technology in art through DJing.
The profession of DJ (Disk jockey) requires a developed artistic sense and a boundless passion for music. Like many music professionals, the DJ is on the lookout for all the trends of the moment, but must also anticipate those of tomorrow.
Participants in the ‘DJing’ workshop develop an in-depth knowledge of the links between the traditional context of the musical arts and the use of technology, so that they can adapt their musical choices to suit the venue they are mixing in and the audience they need to win over.
With Africulturban’s team of artists and experts, participants acquire knowledge and skills in music, from conceptual expressions of art to sound techniques such as setting up equipment, basic music structure, beatmatching, basic mixing, creating a playlist, scratching, fading, micing, composing and arranging music.

Throughout the workshop, participants are encouraged to experiment and develop an individual approach to communicating their ideas to the world, translating self-expression into music and DJing. Learners will be encouraged to be versatile, i.e. to be able to adapt to all musical media, whether vinyl, CD or digital files.
At the end of their training, the beneficiaries of the Djing cohort of the Naatange Art La programme are prepared to enter the multimedia artistic field as freelance artists, entrepreneurs or experts in musical composition, mixing, sound techniques, or even discotheque managers or production managers within a record company.
