Babel Med Music 2013 : a Capital year!
The next Babel Med Music will take place from the 21st to the 23th of March 2013, at the ‘Dock des Suds’ venue in Marseilles. In 2013 Marseilles becomes European Capital of Culture, marking 2013 as an exceptional year and confirming Babel Med Music as The place to be for artists and professionals of the International World Music scene.
Every year its selection committee receives over 1000 applications from France as well as a diversity of countries such as Tadjikistan, New Zealand, Mali, Israel, Bosnia, South Africa and countries of the Maghreb. In 2013, Babel Med Music is going to open a fourth stage which will be dedicated to contemporary music, urban music and to new sounds from around the Mediterranean. This is made possible by the Watt programme - « What About Today and Tomorrow » - a programme which was created by Marseille Provence 2013 and which aims to connect artists from the Marseilles Provence area with North American artists and artists from the Arab Music scene.
For three days, artists and professionals from around the world will gather to develop their activities, detect new trends and exchange ideas and views within the scope of meetings, conferences and debates.
The artists selected to take part in this festival will perform in front of international festival directors and programming managers, artistic agents and record labels. It will be open to the public who will be able to satisfy their curiosity and taste for new musical talents (15,000 audience members in 2012).
