Production : Diffusion Prod

Whether scholarly or popular, sacred or secular, traditional or contemporary, World Music challenges our relationship with the world and our territories.

This musical aesthetic intertwines cultures, languages, and spaces, giving it a unique place in the industry. With its own creative and distribution logic, it raises questions about diversity and the expression of cultural rights without compromising artistic excellence.

Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness or preconceived notions, World Music is sometimes overlooked or marginalized. It is therefore essential to support World Music professionals across the region.
