Meet the artists and collective commissioned to create innovative new work tapping into global music cultures:
- Multidisciplinary Manchester-based creative SCAPA collaborates with artists from Accra (Ghana) to devise an Afro-Electro audio-visual project
- Composer, songwriter and performer Phoenix Rousiamanis pays tribute to Manchester's queer communities and ballroom culture with a new multimedia work
- MCR4PAL connects Manchester and Palestinian artists to create a new EP with an accompanying radio show and listening party
These commissions are part of WE, THE LEADERS, the WOMEX 24 legacy programme which also includes a leadership programme, roundtables and a youth-led music conference.
Keep reading for more information about each commissioned project, and make sure you give each of them a follow to stay in the loop about their showcase events, coming in autumn 2024.
