WELCOME TO #theDRUMNATION
We are a collective of passionate marketers with a unifying passion for music and creativity.
On Saturday 21st May 2016 something exceptional will take place at a first class music venue in London.
10 incredibly talented music acts from across Sub Saharan Africa are going to unite with UK gig goers to form #theDRUMNATION Festival.
Through raising funding for this event we aim to realise our mission:
- To give at least 4 (hopefully 10) incredibly talented musical acts from across sub Saharan Africa an opportunity to perform at #theDRUMNATION festival in London in May 2016.
- To promote the range and quality of talent and creativity that is in abundance across the continent.
- To contribute towards a change in the negative perception of Africa, its 54 countries and its citizens; to one of positivity.
WHY WE NEED YOUR PLEDGES:
We need to raise a minimum of £40,000 through corporate sponsorship and crowdfunding to bring the selected artists and all of their bands (some of which have 8+ members!) over for #theDRUMNATION Festival on 21st May 2016 in London.
The more money we raise the more artists can come, the bigger the festival and, because this is a not-for-profit project, the better the party. We not going to have any surplus on this project - if on 21st Mat 2016 we have spare money in the coffers it's going to go behind the bar.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You can choose to pledge your support at a number of different levels from individual to corporate basis. Based on this support you will receive benefits tailored to your pledge.
GREAT THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…
Thank you for finding us. With the support of your pledges - together we can achieve great things.
