World Music Expo (WOMEX) is an
international world music support
and development project based in
Berlin. The main event is an exposition
held annually in different locations
throughout Europe. The initiative
integrates a trade fair, showcases,
conferences, film market, networking
sessions, and awards. During the
event, musicians with their works
have the opportunity to make contacts
for international touring and album
distribution. In 2011, Caribbean
Export facilitated the participation of
30 regional music professionals and
artistes at the WOMEX
(Figure 10)
.
This represented a significant milestone
towards the attainment of longer-term
results for the Creative Industries of the
Caribbean region as the mission sought
to increase the distribution of music
from the Caribbean, increase in the
number of international performances,
and increase business linkages
developed between CARIFORUM music
representatives, and those from the rest
of the World.
