SPOTLIGHT ON VHEMBE ARTISTS
Vhembe Artists, This Is Your Moment: Learn How to Take Your Music Global
On 11 March 2026, Vhembe becomes the centre of Africa’s digital music conversation as DistroKid Spotify Africa, in partnership with the Vhembe District Office of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture Limpopo, hosts the first of a FREE Digital Distribution Workshop series.
Taking place at the Prof NV Ralushai Main Library Auditorium in Thohoyandou, this hands-on workshop is designed to demystify digital music distribution and empower artists with the tools and knowledge to earn from their craft in the streaming era.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is open to traditional artists, independent and emerging artists across all genres, as well as established musicians looking to better understand the digital landscape. Producers, DJs, composers, beat makers, and both aspiring and established artist managers are strongly encouraged to attend.
If you create music, manage talent, or support artists in any way—this space is for you.
What to Expect
Participants will gain practical insights into:
How digital distribution works and how to get music onto major platforms
Monetisation opportunities on streaming services like Spotify
Rights management, royalties, and registrations
Representatives from SAMRO and Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) will be present to answer your questions, offer guidance, and assist directly—making this a rare opportunity to engage with key industry institutions in one room.
Building Access Beyond Big Cities
This initiative speaks directly to artists in Vhembe and across Limpopo, where access to industry information is often limited. By bringing global digital platforms and rights organisations into the district, the workshop aims to close knowledge gaps and open pathways for artists to earn sustainably from their work.
A special word of thanks goes to Nipro Ratombo for facilitating and helping make this important gathering possible.
Spread the Word
Artists and practitioners outside Limpopo are encouraged to share this opportunity with their networks—especially those based in rural and underrepresented areas. Access to information can change careers, and your share might be the link that helps an artist take their first step into the global market.
