The World Music Expo WOMEX takes place from October 19.–23.10.2022 in Portugal, Lisbon. This time Music Estonia is present with the biggest delegation so far. Come and meet us at Altice Arena, Stands 82 & 83. 

WOMEX – the World Music Expo – is the most international music meeting in the world and the biggest conference of the global music scene, featuring a trade fair, talks, films and a showcase festival. Around 3000 professionals (including 303 performing artists) come together every October from more than 90 countries, making WOMEX not only the number one networking platform for the world music industry, but also the most diverse music meeting worldwide. 

Its musical spectrum is unparalleled in the international showcase festival scene, ranging from the most traditional to the new global local underground, embracing folk, roots, local and diaspora cultures and urban and electronic sounds from all over the globe as well as all musical juxtapositions of these.

On October 20 DUO RUUT will perform in the official showcase programme at the Altice Arena Daycase Stage on 14.15–15.00. Intro by Andrew Cronshaw (UK).
