<\/p>\n<\/div>\nH<\/strong>ow are you? I hope well!<\/strong><\/div>\n\nSome of the people from the global community working with world musics are already in Porto for WOMEX. I will travel tomorrow. Here in Europe it seems the world has opened again but I think it is not totally like that yet. For instance,\u00a0I miss many of the usual attendants who came from Asia.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the permanent results of the pandemic will become visible with some more time. Here in Spain I think it has accelerated some trends and I feel we have lost some relevant spots for the visibility of the musics we work with. For instance, Pirineos Sur hasn’t happened in 2020, neither in 2021 and in the website it is announced as cancelled, without date for 2022. I had a concert with Monsieur Doumani in 2020 there and I think we lost the chance. I don’t believe that the people with power in the institution take responsibility for the commitment to the artists programmed. I hope I am wrong. Another of the referential festivals in Spain, Etnosur, is still going on, but the city council fired in May the team that created the festival and that has been producing it for 24 years. The program of 2021 has been local and regional. It used to host international artists and premier own productions. The old team is trying to rebuild the idea with another name and in another location. I wish them luck, for them and for all of us.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, our community is defined by resilience and initiative. I keep discovering exciting proposals, some of which I talk about below, such as the PIN professional meeting in Skopje, or the addition of a discussion day at the Todo Mundo festival, about which you have more info below.<\/p>\n
I hope you find this content interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Thank you very much for your attention. As always, if you have any news of interest for our community, let me know.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\nAraceli Tzigane | Mapamundi M\u00fasica<\/div>\n

I had the luck to attend the festival and to participate in the round table that took place on September 25th.\u00a0It was the first time that the festival included a round table and, according to Marija Vitas, it\u00a0will most likely be kept on the programme for future editions and I think this is a very good news as it is a new opportunity to interchange ideas and meet colleagues, specially interesting when it happens in\u00a0peripheral areas.<\/span><\/p>\nThe topic of the conference (and the focus of the festival) was women in music. My colleagues in the session of the morning were\u00a0Ivana Mara\u0161 (read her interview below), Iva Neni\u0107 (ethnomusichologist and scholar), Sofia Labropoulou (composer and qanunist)\u00a0and\u00a0Svetlana Spaji\u0107\u00a0(singer and researcher) and we were moderated by Marija Vitas and joined for some time by Bojan Djordjevic (director of the festival and journalist in Radio Beograda). The conversation was recorded by Radio Beograda and I have to say that it was really interesting. In the afternoon there was another discussion session, with Sotiris Bekas, Julijana Ba\u0161ti\u0107, Rok Ko\u0161ir and Giuseppe Bortone.

\nIn the artistic side of the program, I want to highlight the Serbian artist\u00a0settled in Austria\u00a0Jelena Popr\u017ean (in the picture, by Juan Antonio V\u00e1zquez).\u00a0Her solo concert was a wonderful and indescribable madness. She has an amazing talent full of originality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
