World Music Central

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, music fans, instrument makers, music industry professionals, etc.We have one of the largest databases of world music artists. If you are not included in our database, please send us your details. To check if you are already featured, click on Artist biographies . If you would like to be added, we generally include an artist biography, a direct link to the official web site, a listing of the discography (album + label + year of release), bibliography (books and videos, if any), and booking information. We have a form available that you can use to submit your information: submissions . If you are an artist who is already included in our database, but the information needs updating, please send us an e-mail to info at worldmusiccentral dot org.

One of the most popular sections at World Music Central is the world music city guides. We have travel guides for people who are specifically interested in world music or local roots music. If you would like your city to be listed, check out our other guides to get an idea of what we are looking for and send us an e-mail.

World Music Central is also interested in listing venues, festivals, radio DJs, writers, booking agents, and any other world music professionals. We have an extensive resources database where we feature world music professionals.
On the content side, we are always seeking new writers World Music Central (English language)and Músicas del Mundo (Spanish language). Both are all-volunteer sites. We could use some more CD and concert reviewers, article contributors, and Spanish-English translators.
