>The NWEAMO board is pleased to announce that we are accepting submissions
>for our 2006 festival, with the theme of Pulse: the Influence of Africa. We
>want your personal interpretation of African pulse, rhythms, musics,
>dances, cultures, traditions, philosophies, and spiritual practices.
>The music of Africa is among the most powerful and influential forces in
>world culture. The musical structures, practices and instrumentation
>permeate virtually every continent. In the Americas, nearly all modern
>genres are consequent of the confluence of African musical and, a more
>deeply, spiritual force (e.g. rock, hip-hop, salsa, samba, jazz, tango,
>blues, reggae etc.). African spirit percolates throughout Asia, Australia,
>the Near East and Europe as well. This sacred and secular force pulses
>below the surface, providing a communal mind meld and a contemporary ritual
>dance throughout the planet.
>
>The 2006 NWEAMO festival seeks works which feature a connection with
>Africa. The connections may be direct or oblique, from quotes to references
>to distant echoes.
>
>As usual, works do not have to strictly adhere to the theme. We are looking
>for all genres and ideas in the world of electro-acoustic music!
>
>This year's festival will be held in three fascinating cities: Morelia
>(Mexico), Portland, OR and San Diego.
>
>Festival Dates:
>
>Rome, Italy - TBA
>Portland, OR - Sep. 30, 2006
>San Diego, CA - Oct. 6 & 7, 2006
>Morelia, Mexico - TBA
>
>The Mission of NWEAMO: To forge connections between the composers,
>performers and lovers of avant garde classical music and the DJs, MCs,
>guitar-gods, troubadours and gourmets of experimental popular music. When
>there is no connection, both suffer: When classical music does not connect
>with popular culture, it becomes a music of experts, unable to reflect and
>contribute meaningfully in the broad marketplace of developing ideas and
>cultural experimentation. When popular music has no connection and
>communication with the classical it becomes naive and superficial,
>untethered to its historical roots and broad cultural underpinnings. A
>healthy cultural milieu celebrates both.
>
>NWEAMO is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501©3 corporation.
>If you would like to submit your music and/or video, please start the
>registration process here. We look forward to reviewing your work!
