Project description

Essakane Productions was created in 2010 to meet the professionalisation needs of the team behind the Timbuktu Festival. Since then, it has developed and taken on projects in artist management, event management and organisation, and audiovisual production and broadcasting, notably for the Cultural Caravan for Peace.

The “Valorisation Talent de Tombouctou” project aims to identify artists among disadvantaged populations in isolated regions or in zones of conflict. After offering them a residency and supporting them in the production and distribution of their work, Essakane Productions will do its utmost to bring these talents to light through national and even international partnerships, by broadcasting live shows and using new music streaming platforms.
