Malawi’s top female reggae singer Sangie has unveiled Sangie’s Spotlight Sunday,an initiative aimed at nurturing young female talent and promoting cultural empowerment across the country.
Speaking during the press briefing on Thursday,Sangie said the initiative is designed to identify and mentor female artists aged 18 to 25, with a special focus on those from underserved communities.
She added that the program also seeks to equip participants with the skills and exposure needed to transition from informal music spaces to professional stages.
Sangie said currently in its pilot phase, Spotlight Sunday will provide selected artists with a three-month training program covering music education, studio recording, and live band performance.
She emphasized that the initiative aims to address the gaps in training and opportunities that many young female musicians face.
Currently,the calls for submissions have been opened, inviting aspiring female artists to apply and benefit from the mentorship and professional development offered through the program.
The initiative is supported by the Copyright Fund, established by the government through the Copyright Society of Malawi (COSOMA), which provides financial support to creatives and promotes awareness on copyright protection and anti-piracy measures.
