Amagroove’s residency is more than just a transcontinental music program. It’s a creative movement. Designed for emerging musicians, songwriters and producers, it offers a unique space to collaborate, innovate and grow artistically, immersed in cultural exchange. The 2024 edition has sparked the creation of 20 original songs, and the results proved to be truly borderless music when diverse voices unite across gender identity, genre and region.
One standout from last year’s residency is Chipego’s “I Said I Do,” a soulful track that emerged from a late-night studio session with Danish producer Mark Fosnaz. Listen here on YouTube.
Ready for details: Presave Chipego’s new track “All Yours,” featuring Ubeyond, Elias Njovu & Pilfinger, created during the 2024 residency.
