How to Help

There are several ways you can contribute to the Southern African Music & Sound project:

• Create new articles: There are many notable Southern African musicians, albums, and music genres that do not yet have articles on Wikipedia.
• Improve existing articles: Many articles need additional information, references, or cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
• Add images: Visual content can significantly enhance an article. You can upload images of musicians, instruments, or performances to Wikimedia Commons and use them in relevant articles.
• Participate in discussions: Join our discussions on the project talk page to share ideas, ask questions, and collaborate with other editors.
