To avoid unnecessary disappointment - please note that WOMEX only stages WORLD MUSIC artists!
Taking place in locations all across Europe since 1994, WOMEX – The World Music EXpo has grown from 200 to 2800 delegates from 90 countries, making it the most anticipated, productive and successful professional event of the world music year.
Here is a unique opportunity to perform at WOMEX 08 in Sevilla Spain, 29 October - November 2. Around 35 selected artists will perform on one of the 4 official WOMEX stages. The WOMEX Showcase selection is done by WOMEX's independent jury, consisting of seven well-respected members of the international world music community – called the 7 Samurai.
This year, Sonicbids is the exclusive way to submit for showcase consideration.
Conditions: WOMEX is not in the position to cover any fees, travel expenses or other costs so think carefully about financing and let the Jury know what support or funding you have (you will be prompted later in the submission process). Selected artists will get FREE access to all parts of WOMEX plus one free registration for our partner of agreement (artist representative). The stage, the necessary equipment to perform, and special PR treatment (on equal basis with all other WOMEX Showcase artists) will be provided to all artists.
