Summary

"The most important international professional market of world music of every kind. This international fair brings together professionals from the worlds of folk, roots, ethnic and traditional music and also includes concerts, conferences and documentary films. It contributes to networking as an effective means of promoting music and culture of all kinds across frontiers." - UNESCO Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity

For artists, this unique opportunity to perform at WOMEX 09 in Copenhagen, Denmark may well be the largest group of potential employers they will ever play for. Among its 2,800 delegates in each 2007 and 2008 - 1,000 listed themselves as concert and festival bookers. Plus there are international labels, distributors both digital and physical, tour agents, journalists and much more.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: WOMEX only stages WORLD MUSIC artists and Sonicbids is WOMEX's only method of receiving submissions for showcase consideration.
