Setting: On the eve of WOMEX 2006 the weekly radio programme World Tracks discussed the impact of this four-day gathering in Spain on “world music”. It gave a taste of the eclectic and frenetic atmosphere of WOMEX by returning to the previous year’s edition, held in Gateshead, England.
The 12th edition of the World Music Expo, or WOMEX opened in the Spanish city of Sevilla with hopes it will build on the success of its 2005 edition in Gateshead, England. WOMEX communications director Gerald Seligman describes the highlights and novelties his organisation have developed over the year, for an edition where a record number of participants are expected to participate.
To better understand why over 2,500 “world music” professionals congregated for this four-day event we return to the 11th edition. This was held in the state-of-the-art Sage venue on the Tyne river in northeast England. There, artists like Vusi Mahlasela, Hermeto Pascual, Thandiswa Maswai and Robert Plant described the aspirations that drew them to such a meeting.
