Before the event, there was a music workshop hosted by BEMF and Red Bull Music Academy. The workshop, which was held at Westwood International School, had artists such as DJ Gouveia, Sibot, Ryan Murgatroyd and Okmalumkoolkat. Artists DJ Gouviea, Sibot, Ryan Murgatroyd and Okmalumkoolkat are currently at the top of their game and a number of young people look up to them as their musical mentors.
The artists touched on a number of musical and production issues, also sharing their views and advising upcoming musicians. They mainly advised their charges to focus on establishing a sound of their own.
After lessons, upcoming musicians were given the floor to ask questions and at the close of the workshop, the upcoming musicians were given music production tutorial books and also tickets so they come and witness their musical icons performing.
Upcoming musicians attended the workshop alongside other figures such as music promoters, radio hosts and film producers.
The workshop was beneficial not only to upcoming musicians but also to other people in the entertainment industry; it cultivated new ideas and how to approach them.
The BEMF event was not a disappointment as it came with a new approach of organising events.
The show itself was also beneficial to revellers because they got to witness an event of a different magnitude in Botswana.
Huge numbers turned up at the first annual event that had a several artists with veteran Osunlade being the headliner and the likes of Groovy Soul and DJ Gouveia having the opportunity to share the stage with such talents.
