Folk Alliance's Strictly Mundial World Music Showcase

North America's most European city is the site for the Strictly Mundial village for 2005. The marketplace [exhibit hall], the theater [showcases], and the city square [workshops and forums] will bring together artists, festivals and others from around the world. Traditional and contemporary roots music from North America will be presented in harmony and in contrast with music from all around the globe, giving us a glimpse of common threads and diverse patterns. Montreal promises us sights and sounds of uncommon cultures, fueled with passion and joy. Join us!

Genres accepted include: World Music, Canadian Roots (i.e. Québecois, Maritimes, Aboriginal), American Roots (i.e. Blues, Old Time, Bluegrass, Traditional) and British Isles/Celtic.
