What Others Say About Us


WOMEX 10


"WOMEX (World Music Expo) is to music as the Cannes Festival is to film."
WDR Funkhaus Europa

"If the success of an international music industry trade show can be taken as a barometer for the health of the market it is serving then world music appears to be in robust form." Music Week (UK)

"I come here primarily to be blown away by music I've never seen and report on it. I've been going to WOMEX since 1995 and the 2010 edition was one of the two or three buzziest, best ever." Sean Barlow, Afropop Worldwide (USA)

"After several years of attending WOMEX as a delegate, 2010 finally provided the result we were looking for - a showcase performance for my band Mabon (Wales) and a huge amount of interest from agents and festivals worldwide." Derek Smith, Guitarist (UK)

"It's a big source of inspiration to us." Globalfest NYC (USA)

"I'd be lost without it." Arne Berg, NRK Norwegian Boradcasting (Norway)

"Now in its 16th year, WOMEX is increasingly becoming one of the most lively and international conferences of the year…" Finetunes (Germany)

"WOMEX should get a place in the dictionary. Everyone talks about it, everybody loves it, everybody is there." Tim De Bie, Mundial Bookings (Belgium)

"At WOMEX you have visibility into a truly global music community; there is no other conference where I am exposed to such great music from around the world." Erik Gilbert, IODA (USA)

"If I have to choose one music professional conference, I go to WOMEX! It's the most interesting one, it's the one focused on discovering music talents and sharing ideas. Emmanuelle de Decker, Blue Frog (India)

"WOMEX is the most energizing place to be every year as it is the only professional gathering where everyone is in love with its work!"  Marie-Agnes Beau, International Music Consultant (France/UK)

"WOMEX was an amazing opportunity to connect with musicians and industry leaders from around the globe who have a true passion for world music." Michele Flannery, YouTube Music (USA)

"If you're working with World Music, whatever the definition, on any kind of international level, then you should be at WOMEX - a unique forum where business, pleasure and culture mix in stimulating and enjoyable ways." Nick Hobbs, Charmenko (UK/Turkey)

"Still the most friendly, welcoming and musical of all music fairs." Petra Gehrmann, Métisse Music (France)

"There’s a lot of talk about creating a cultural diverse city – WOMEX is actually doing something about it. […] WOMEX is back - and that means the biggest world music event is back in town. The City of Copenhagen is proud to host and support it."
Pia Allerslev, Copenhagen Mayor of Culture
(Denmark)

"[Welsh] Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones said Womex is an "important platform to promote and develop new international leads, contacts and opportunities for musicians and the music sector from Wales". www.bbc.co.uk
