BABEL MED MUSIC (MARCH 16-18, 2017 in Marseille France)
Mundial Montreal will be going back to the sunny South of France to attend the 13th edition of Babel Med Music, which is often described as a smaller Mediterranean version of WOMEX, leading a delegation of Canadian professionals as part of the Word Music De Chez Nous collective initiative, in collaboration with Folquébec.
It is such a pleasant conference to experience, in the heart of the charming “Phocaean city”, Marseille, home to marquee Dock des Suds venue, refreshing anis flavoured Pastis, delicious Bouillabaisse & friendly vibe!
