Fak'ugesi 2026 was a signal, and a signal only travels as far as those who carry it. Five days in Johannesburg, held up by our main partners. Thank you to every one. Highlights from the week at fakugesi.co.za #Fakugesi2026

What does the future of music look like in the age of AI? We caught up with Pamela De Menezes from The @thisisthearrows at the @fakugesi AI & Music Business Hackathon, where she shared her thoughts and perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry. Hear what she has to say about AI and music! Please note that these are her personal views and opinions. #FakUgesi #AIMusic #MusicBusiness #ArtificialIntelligence #TheArrows

The future of music is evolving, and so is the protection of creators’ rights. At @fakugesi Festival 2026, @karabosenna , SAMRO’s General Manager: Sales and Licensing, shared insights on AI in music, the importance of declaring AI involvement, and accurate metadata in protecting creators’ contributions. As music evolves, knowing your rights matters. #SAMRO #Fakugesi2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #MusicRights #MusicMetadata
