Dear partners & friends in music!

We are very proud to present you Austrian Music production:
Last year, Fatima Spar and the Freedom Fries as well as DJ Dunkelbunt offered the first Austrian showcases ever, !DelaDap presented themselves at OFF-Womex. This year, the Booking agency “culture works” brought Renato Borghetti into the official selection; and DJ Achileia from Mazedonia – (in fact, we all know him as a real Austrian member of legendary Wiener Tschuschenkapelle) will give a DJ session.
This year, you will meet new faces at Womex – Vusa Mkhaya (Zimbawe) and Mamadou Diabate (Burkina Faso) and Alp Bora from Turkey will be present at our stand. And – of course, our agents are working hard to bring the best of world music directly to you!
