“We are particularly excited about this year’s line-up for the MIDEM Artist Accelerator, with its strong accent on talent from the African continent. This truly global event also features artists from as far afield as Australia and Cuba, along with some home-grown French talent. When they all perform live in Cannes, I think that MIDEM attendees will be in for a real treat,” shares Alexandre Deniot, Director of MIDEM.
