Dear WOMEXicanos,
Since mid-February WOMEX 09 programme proposals keep coming in - but we haven't told you yet who the Jury is. Read all about the 09 Samurai here.
WOMEX 09 JURY
Every year WOMEX chooses 7 well-respected members of the international world music community to work on the selection of the WOMEX Showcase artists and consult on the WOMEX Conference.
The 7 Samurai (we did not pick this name by accident) - here they are with full bios and photos:

UK PETITION LAUNCHED AGAINST ARTIST VISA LAWS
UK music industry professionals have created an online petition to be sent to the British government, an effort to reverse new rules that will impact touring artists. You don't have to be UK-based to sign it. And... It's an excellent model for other countries. Have a look, here...
