Showcases

Celebrating creativity and depicting the vast amount of musical diversity the world has to offer, the WOMEX Showcases place the spotlight on thrilling acts from around the globe. Whether they are ground-breaking new talents or established maestros, the Showcases highlight everything from the rediscovery of musical traditions to the very latest in artistic innovation.

With an annual call for proposals, open to any artist, in any country, the programme is put together by the independent and international WOMEX Jury. Five of the members are tasked with selecting the showcases, while our dedicated Club Summit curator, together with the WOMEX team, decides on the Club Summit showcases.

What is a Showcase?  Programme Overview 

 

The Official Showcase Selection programme is created based on an annual call for proposals. Our independent, international jury - the 7 samurai - then chooses the finale programme. Five of them select the showcases. Rounding up a huge variety of artists, the Official Showcase Selection places special emphasis on newcomers to the international touring circut.

The offWOMEX Stage is supported by UPBEAT, the European Showcase Platform for World Music; The Baltic Culture Fund, Music Information Centre Lithuania; Mundial Montréal, International Indigenous Music Summit, Small World Music and Global Toronto; The Katapult Creative Accelerator Program.
