WOMEX always blows you away with artists you never saw before." Afropop
... and then comes the music. All night. Every night. During the day, too. The Showcases continue our policy of presenting the widest possible range of global music stars, secrets and discoveries, with or without a record contract. Every year WOMEX presents around 3 dozen exciting Showcases.
WOMEX invites a new group of seven Jury members - the famed 7 Samurai - to work on the Showcase selection.
Showcase Proposal WOMEX 08 - Sevilla, Spain
The deadline for Showcase proposals was Friday, 18 April 2008!
Calling for world music artists and DJs... Come perform at the premier world music Showcase event on the planet. If selected by our 7 Samurai Jury, you'll play before the largest audience anywhere of international concert and festival bookers, labels, distributors, journalists and industry professionals - everyone you need to help launch, re-launch, sustain and expand your career.
Performances in all forms and styles are welcome for our 45-minute sets - traditional, classical, modern, popular, electronic. Our Jury is open to all great music from anywhere at all in the world.
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. Invited 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 our special PR treatment on equal basis with all other WOMEX Showcase artists will be provided to all artists.
We are most happy to announce the enlargement of our partnership with Sonicbids - the meeting place for people who make music, and people who need music. More than 130,000 bands get gigs at Sonicbids, and over 10,000 promoters and licensors come looking for music. Sonicbids handles the introductions and expects to enable more than 60,000 connections this year.
This year, Sonicbids was the exclusive online submission partner for WOMEX.
