3 Canal to Showcase Rapso and Carnival at World Music Expo.
Port of Spain, Trinidad: Sept 1, 2007 Local Rapso group 3canal has been accepted by the World Music Expo (WOMEX) jury to perform in Seville, Spain in October 2007. Womex is the largest showcase of World musicians on the planet; and out of over 600 applications, the group was one of 36 artistes selected. WOMEX is the most important international professional market of world music of every kind. This international fair brings together professionals from the worlds of folk, roots, ethnic and traditional music and also includes concerts, conferences and documentary films. It contributes to networking as an effective means of promoting music and culture of all kinds across frontiers." WOMEX runs the last October weekend of every year. It begins on a Wednesday afternoon from with early-bird registration, stand set-up, and then the WOMEX Opening Night with the first showcase/s. Then, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday come the principal days with the full conference, film market, trade fair and showcase programmes. Sunday hosts the remaining trade fair day until 14.00. It's a final opportunity to make contacts and wind down with a leisurely lunch and a final good-bye. The Conference is the think-tank of music producers, makers and shakers and the delegates' chance to grab the attention of fellow participants. The WOMEX Jury selects informative, educational, even controversial speakers to present their topics. Open from Thursday morning and closing on Saturday the Trade Fair is the nerve centre of WOMEX. Our equal-stands-for-all rule and keep-the-volume-down policy help create the unique WOMEX ambience so different from any other music fairs. And then comes the music. All night. Every night. The Showcases continue our policy of presenting the widest possible range of global music stars, secrets and discoveries, with or without a record contract. WOMEX presents around 3 dozen exciting Showcases in all. In just 12 years, WOMEX has grown to over 2,500 delegates and 1.400 companies from more than 80 countries.
