Warner Music Africa Francophone has launched its first-ever songwriting camp in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, bringing together more than 20 artists, producers, and songwriters from across the African continent for a three-day event.
The Warner Music Camp Babi, held at Abidjan’s Villa Tahiba, featured talent from Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa working together to produce new tracks and promote pan-African musical connections.
Warner Music says the event is “the first songwriting camp of its kind” in French-speaking Africa.
Participating artists included Black K, Ch’cco, Herc Cut The Lights, Hyce, Jeriq, Kold AF, Kouz1, Paulo Chakal, Ste Milano, and Yumbs. Additional invited talent such as Akim, Ayanne, Beeztrap, Dorty, G6$, Kemuel, Kiff No Beat, Mac Abel, Mr. Behi, Nikanor, Remy Baggins, Shaun, Spy Shitta, Suspect 95, Tamsir, and Yilim joined the sessions to help connect artists from Côte d’Ivoire and other Francophone regions with creators from across Africa.
“The blueprint for Warner Music Africa Francophone was to connect the best French-speaking talent with the rest of Africa, so I’m proud to see us do just this at our first songwriting camp,” said Marc-Andre Niang, Co-Director, Warner Music Africa Francophone.
