From 25 until 29 October the 24th edition of WOMEX, the World Music Expo, will take place in Katowice (Poland).
WOMEX is the meeting place par excellence for music professionals involved in world music, folk or ethnical music and consists of a trade fair, a conference and a showcase programme. Last year, Belgium was represented by more than eighty professionals from Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia.
For this year’s edition as well, Flanders Arts Institute and Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques will coordinate the Belgian representation by setting up a Belgian booth and organising a network event. The booth will be available for delegates to distribute promotion material and meet other professionals.
Belgian showcase & appearances
For the first time in several years, a Belgian band – Black Flower – made it to the selection for the official showcase programme. You can watch the trailer of the official showcase selection below.
In addition to the official showcase programme, the Womex programme also features the DJ Summit – for which Ibaaku (NG), represented by Scènégal Ethic / Julie Poncelet has been selected – and the Kato Connections – for which the Ghent-based Iraqi Osama Abdulrasol Quintet has been selected.
