HIVE ON-BOARDING PLANS
We also intend to use this event to reach out to artists, musicians and dancers who aren't on Hive. We will share our posts outside Hive and invite those who are talented but are not part of Hive. We will spread the word about Hive, and share them our experience of Hive: a WORLD where they will be rewarded for their content, talents, efforts and sacrifices; a world where they can meet like minds and build relationships.

We are calling on Musicians; singers and instrumentalists, who love African tunes to join us in making this project a wonderful one.
