Power and possibility: Inside ARMC’s vision for an inclusive music industry
In a music industry that is rapidly evolving, the Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC) has carved out a vital space for African creatives to connect, innovate, and thrive. Now in its fifth year, ARMC returns to Johannesburg from 22 to 23 May 2025, continuing its mission to amplify African voices while bridging the gap between local talent and global opportunities. Under the theme A Space for Every Voice, this year’s edition is more than a gathering – it’s a declaration of inclusivity, empowerment, and intentional industry transformation.
