CUMEDIAE is extremely proud to have contributed through its multilingual free-accessible platform Culture Agora to the dissemination of Womex digital edition 2020, in media partnership with Womex.
Due to the covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Womex (Worldwide Music Expo) was held as a digital edition from 21 to 25 October ’20.
Womex, which is the “most international music meeting in the world” and the biggest conference of the global music scene, brings together professionals from the worlds of folk, roots, ethnic and traditional music, contributing to networking as an effective means of promoting music and culture of all kinds across frontiers.
