Get Together...
Networking Meetings & Presentations
Networking Breakfast
"WOMEX is the only chance I’ve got to meet my colleagues from my own country!"
We've heard it many times. Time at home is scarce and people are scattered. To help facilitate opportunities for these gatherings, we've set up WOMEX Networking Meetings where you control the agenda, you set the priorities.
From WOMEX Networking Meetings have grown numerous associations such as the Brazilian Independent Music Association (ABMI), the North American World Music Coalition etc. Now regions such as the Caribbean, Asian Pacific are taking advantage of the opportunity to sit down together to discuss local issues.

Nordic World- and Roots Music Network (NOVnet) Meeting
At WOMEX 2009 a vision for a Nordic network was presented and ideas brought forth, this year the network has been formed and a tour is planned this fall with Becaye Awe! The network is at present made up of four members: Klaverfabrikken and Global Copenhagen in Denmark, Global Oslo Music in Norway and Södra Teatern in Sweden, but is hoping by early spring 2011 to welcome new world music members.
The idea behind the network is not only to present more world music, but also to have the opportunity to have more world music tours in the north by cooperating together on a concrete and practical basis.
For more information please join us or email nordic@globalcph.dk

Conference 3
Global Music Education in a Global Context:
The role of music education in promoting cultural diversity and innovation
Coordinated by William Ramsay (South Africa/Germany) and Andreas Freudenberg (Germany) from the Global Music Academy
This networking session will bring together music educators, musicians and administrators to discuss the future of music education in a globalised world. The role of music schools in preserving and promoting diversity of cultural expression, how to promote the development of innovative new teaching methods and curricula, the mutual recognition of music study programmes and the exchange of teachers and students around the world. Are we really preparing musicians for the diverse challenges they face in the 21st century? What skills do musicians need to have to be able to communicate with each other across borders? How do we create a system that will be able to document the world’s musical resources for use by future generations and at the same time stimulate innovation and communication between musicians from different cultural areas?
Friday 12:00 – 13:00
Conference 3
Korean Music: Into the Light
With Kim Hee-Sun (South Korea), Kookmin University;
Heo Yoon-Jeong (South Korea), Tori Ensemble;
Won Il (South Korea), Baramgot;
Jang Young-Gyu (South Korea), Be-Being;
Jo Frost (UK), Songlines Magazine
Rich spiritual, philosophical and aesthetic background of Korean music, Taoism, Buddhism, and Shamanism and their related musical genres will be presented together with three musicians leading the groups appearing at the WOMEX 10 Opening Concert. Chaired by a principal Korean ethnomusicologist and world-renowned journalist, the ancient yet historically formulated roots of Korean music will be delivered. In this special session, you will discover true meanings of Korean music and at the same time also capture a vivid picture of the modern Korean music scene. The musicians will present their own musical roots, namely music of heaven (classical pungnyu), earth (Buddhist beompae), and human (Shamanistic sinawi). Moreover, the session will focus on how musicians relate themselves to their turbulent past; how they interpret and successfully incorporate spirituality to produce modern yet artistic contemporary traditional music. If you’re interested in Korean music, don’t miss this session! Welcome to the world of Korean music!

Conference 3
European Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals (EFWMF) Networking Meeting
The global festival network meets for the second time @ WOMEX
At WOMEX 2009 the EFWMF organised a meeting with other festival networks. An informal presentation and exchange session resulted in an interesting meeting with various international colleagues. And these meetings carried on at AWME in Melbourne (Australia), the Mercado Cultural in Cartagena, (Colombia) and also at Babel Med in Marseille (France).
One year later we wish to continue this exchange and hope old participants come back with new info and that new participants join us.
The EFWMF is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2011 and will be present at WOMEX 2010 at stand 215 to 217.
Friday 16:00 – 17:45
Conference 3
The North American Networking Meeting
The North American contingent at WOMEX is a growing constituency and the continent is a fun playground if you like riding the waves of visa politics and confused identity. This facilitated networking session is an annual opportunity to check the pulse of the world music scene in Canada, Mexico, and the United States, while seeing old friends, matching faces with names, and meeting your favorite next world music lover.
Saturday 11:00 – 11:45
Conference 3
Meet the African Music Export Office BEMA
Coordinated by BEMA
Since 2007, operators in the African music industry have developed an independent network called African Music Export Office. BEMA was born out of the professional meetings organised by Africa Fete in Dakar, to bring together African professionals from West Africa. As an innovative platform, the main objective of this network is to promote and export African music both in Africa and throughout the world. Music professionals need to consolidate a Pan-African network, and to work on structuring projects combining production, promotion and vocational training. From this point of view, BEMA is a tool to provide support for the export of African music. Over the next year, the main project of BEMA is to produce an international music market in West Africa.
Saturday 12:00 – 13:00
Conference 3
Asian Pacific Networking Meeting: Exchange Practice and Ideas
Coordinated by Korea Arts Management Service and other international umbrella organisations.
The number of Asian Pacific participants is steadily increasing and now is the time to discover more about your own neighbourhood, introduce who you are, what you do, and what your aims are.
Come along and catch up with the latest trends in Asian Pacific music and the music business, and network with arts professionals. The meeting welcomes all WOMEXicans who come from the Asian Pacific area and of course all those who want to find out more about the Asian Pacific scene.
Saturday 16:00 – 17:00
Conference 1
BBC Radio 3 Presents World Routes Academy
With Lucy Duran (UK), James Parkin (UK) and Rhia Pratsis (UK) from BBC Radio 3
This year BBC Radio 3 launched a new world music mentoring scheme, the World Routes Academy, named after its flagship world music programme World Routes. The scheme supports and inspires young world music artists by bringing them together with an internationally renowned figure with whom they share common cultural roots. In 2010, the focus has been on two Iraqi musicians; the young, London-based oud player, Khyam Allami, who exchanged ideas with the pan-Arabic star, Ilham Al Madfai, guitarist, singer and composer. Radio 3 presenter Lucy Duran and her producers talk about their travels with these musicians and share extracts of some of the radio programmes, concert recordings and studio sessions which these musicians delivered together as part of their mentoring activity. Lucy Duran will also reveal the beneficiaries and focus of the 2011 World Routes Academy.
