For performers and public event organizers
Will you help for the promotion of the event?
Yes. Bissap Baobab will advertise about your event on its website, Instagram and Facebook accounts, Eventbrite and other social media channels relevant to your performance. We ask that you provide us with your artwork.
Do you require a cover fee?
No. This is your decision and we will agree ahead of time of our respective shares of the cover and bar sales.
Either way, we prefer if people register in advance so we can better plan our logistics. We can use our EventBrite account and/or yours.
Can I record my performance?
Yes. You can bring a video crew to record your performance. We will ask you for the courtesy to tag Bissap Baobab wherever you post in in public, and also for a copy with the right to freely use on our website and social media channel while respecting the privacy of the public.
All the above can be decided after you fill our Public Event form HERE.

Do you require a cover fee?
No. But we count on you to incite your participants to buy at least a drink.
Will you help for the promotion prior to the event?
