DIASPORA MUSIC VILLAGE 2004
The 2004 Music Village festival focuses again on the complex yet
timely theme of CULTURE & MIGRATION. It offers fresh insights into
issues of identity, cross-fertilisation and peaceful co-existence. The
festival takes place all over London, a global city where countless mass
population dispersals have converged. Each musical form selected for this
year's festival is a unique mix of particular world cultural traditions.
Together they illuminate how diasporas, whilst often traumatic, are also
endlessly creative sources of invention and renewal.
FREE FESTIVAL WEEKENDS
A fabulous range of visiting international and London-based musicians
assembles over two consecutive weekends for open-air performances of non-stop
music from around the world. Bring a picnic and soak up the sunshine and
sounds with friends and family.
