WOMEX ROUNDUP * WOMEX 10 Copenhagen: Full of Life and Music

(Photo: Eric van Nieuwland ) The 16th edition of WOMEX closed on Sunday, 31 October, after five full days of intense networking, inspiration and music. Held in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the second year, WOMEX has proven, once again, to be the hub of world music professionals from all over the globe. 2440 delegates from 94 countries attended the event, that began with 200 delegates in Berlin in 1994.

This year's Trade Fair figures confirm the high importance that WOMEX delegates invariably attach to the exhibition part of WOMEX: 650 companies and organisations from 57 countries presented themselves at 260 stands in the new daytime venue Forum Copenhagen placing WOMEX right in the heart of Denmark's capital.

More acts than ever before - 59 - from 38 countries performed at the WOMEX Showcase Festival featuring five nighttime stages at the
spectacular DR Koncerthuset and one Daycase Stage at Forum Copenhagen.
