WOMEX PROGRAMME NEWS * First Showcase Announcement

(Photo: WOMEX 09 Jury + Team after a long weekend) We are extremely happy to announce the first WOMEX 09 Showcases. We will be releasing the artist's names in three sittings, starting with the ones who are already confirmed.

We'd like to thank the seven Samurai for the hard and dedicated work they have put into this year's selection from over 760 proposals. Samurai Michael Orlove, Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, says: "I am very satisfied with what we ended up with. The programming is incredibly varied with some real discoveries for WOMEX attendees."
