About us<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2017 as part of IDOL<\/a>, a digital distributor for independent music, PAM – Pan African Music is an online music magazine, available in both French<\/a> and English, dedicated to promoting music from the African continent and diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAM\u2019s mission is twofold: to bring you the latest trends through an extraordinary new generation of talented musicians and to maintain a platform with a unique expertise in the history and development of Africa\u2019s musical heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An international network of multi-disciplinary journalists throughout Africa and Europe have created a digital space for bilingual long form content combining the relevance of traditional reporting with the focused depth of documentaries, earning the respect and collaboration of many of our favorite artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAM continues to grow, developing plans for a series of musical gatherings and partnering with festivals that share our values and provide creative ways to expand our mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young, independent media, PAM is committed to taking the deep dive into this rich and abundant music scene and sharing that experience with our readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAM is an online press recognised by the joint commission of publications and press agencies in France (CPPAP).<\/em>
