Estival Cuenca

Festival’s name: Estival Cuenca

Website: https://estivalcuenca.wixsite.com/estivalcuenca/programacion

Country: Spain

Location: Cuenca

Dates 2018: 27 June – 7 July

About:
After the start-up in 2012 of Estival Cuenca, a musical festival focused on jazz and world music, understood in a very broad way, and after the positive evaluation of its first four editions, this cycle has already managed to achieve one of the main objectives that was marked in its initial program. Thus, with humility, prudence, rigor and taking into account the complex current situation, a gap has been opened and it has been set in the calendar and cultural life of the city of Cuenca, since Estival became a musical and cultural initiative to provincial, regional and national level of the highest possible level.

Ethno Port Poznan Festival

Festival’s name: Ethno Port Poznan Festival

Website: http://ethnoport.pl/

Country: Poland

Location: Poznań

Dates 2018: 7 – 10 June

About:
During 10 years the stages of Ethno Port have seen almost 140 bands and solo artists who came to Poznań from the farthest corners of the globe and places not so far away at all.
Every year apart from 15 concerts taking place over the four days of the festival, there are also music workshops, a dance party, educational activities for children and young people, as well as meetings combined with film screenings, during which we will try to understand the major challenges of our times. For several years now, one of our chief themes is reflection on the biased narratives concerning migrants and refugees which, albeit based on unfounded fears, predominate in our country.

WOMADelaide

Festival’s name: WOMADelaide

Website: https://www.womadelaide.com.au

Country: Australia

Location: Botanic Park, Adelaide, South Australia.

Dates 2018: 9 – 12 March 

About:
WOMADelaide is an annual iconic 4-day festival celebrating a World of Music, Arts and Dance on the middle weekend in March. The festival was first presented in 1992 as part of the Adelaide Festival of Arts. This first festival was a joint venture between the Adelaide Festival and the UK based WOMAD organisation, established by Peter Gabriel in 1982 for the presentation of a festival presenting the World Of Music, Arts and Dance from around the globe. WOMADelaide was subsequently staged as a ‘stand-alone event’ biennially from 1993 in alternate years to the then biennially staged Adelaide Festival, until shifting to an annual cycle from 2004 once again as part of the Adelaide Festival program, which has also, since 2012 moved to an annual cycle.
