by Russell Southwood (@BalancingActAfr) In this video interview, we talk to Stephen Lee, executive project manager, financial services & Africa at Millicom, talks about Tigo Music and organising the biggest music concerts ever in Ghana and Tanzania.
He talks about:
- the success of its Latin American mobile music operations
- the differences in mobile music terms between Africa and Latin America
- the increasing use of smartphones
- the countries Tigo Music has been rolled out in and its future plans
- its mega-concerts in Ghana and Tanzania (“a bit like the Woodstock of Tanzania”)
- and its different competitors.
