WINDHOEK-  Music groups and artists wishing to take part in this year’s Wold Music Day on June 21 has until next Friday, June 23, to register.

The Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) is calling forregistrations for World Music Day, the French originating Fête de la Musique on June 21 which takes place in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Ongwediva and Keetmanshoop this year.

As is tradition on World Music Day, concerts are free of charge and all artists perform for free. Musicians from all walks of life and any genre are invited to register for participation. World Music Day is an excellent opportunity for both upcoming as well as established artists to showcase their talent to a large and diverse audience. Windhoek will host a concert at the Palmtree Park next to the train station during the day (10h00- 18h00), to be followed by another concert at the Warehouse Theatre in the evening (20h00 till late). Keeping with the previous years’ success, both Windhoek and Swakopmund will host live music performances only – no backing tracks! Ongwediva and Keetmanshoop, however, will also accept music acts with backing tracks.

This year marks the 19th anniversary of World Music Day in Namibia. The FNCC is facilitating the event with the support of Total Namibia, Areva, dbAudio, the National Arts Council of Namibia, Base FM, Westcoast FM and the Warehouse Theatre. If you are an artist and would like to perform on World Music Day, please register until Friday, 23 May!
