Maisha

An exciting fusion of Antwerp musical cultures

est. 2022

Maisha is the artistic vision of Junior Akwety (singer, actor and teacher). The group was established with the intention of forming a bridge between the musical worlds of the conservatoire and the various musical and artistic scenes happening in Antwerp.

Each iteration of Maisha brings together musicians from the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp with up-coming singers, rappers, musicians, poets and artists from the city. Together they work together on new music, combining their unique voices in the creation of an entirely new concert set. 

​

While each iteration of Maisha brings together a whole new set of creatives, those who have already participated remain in the loop, creating an ever-expanding creative network for future events both in and out of the scope of Maisha In Concert.

​

The project occurs yearly, with a strong connection to the master programme at the conservatoire. As a participant in the first year of the project, I now work in production for the group, while continuing to participate and help guide the new students as they discover the project for themselves.

Next performance: 16/06/2024 - Antwerpen
