Studio-Live: A project to empower Saharawi voices through music
Over the past few years, Studio-Live has been providing resources and training opportunities to a core group of sound engineering students so that the Saharawi refugees become equipped to record, produce and showcase their music at professional levels and be better able to preserve their rich oral heritage. See project history.
Sandblast has worked in close partnership with Saharawi artists, the cultural authorities based in the camps and UK-based music professionals such as Sara McGuinness (University of West London), Andy Coules (Live Sound Training) and Sam Jones (Soundthread). Training opportunities largely target women and youth, who make up more than 70% of the camp population.
