We found the winner! Emil won the two WOMEX passes for his story about grooves and heat at an otherwise rainy festival in 2007. Many thanks to all who participated with good stories.

The latest music from all four corners of the world
There is a strong thread from Roskilde Festival to WOMEX. Peter Hvalkof from Roskilde Festival's music group is part of the jury that selects the artists, who play at the WOMEX festival - a treat for music lovers.

Womex’ festival programme features world music of the highest caliber and lots of opportunities to see the stars of tomorrow first.

Just like Roskilde Festival, WOMEX is a perfect place for curious music lovers. You can enjoy concerts by artists who do not play in this part of the world every other weekend.

Desert Blues

Keep an eye on one of the recent additions to the desert blues genre, Bombino. Bombino has already made three studio albums and is now ready to conquer Europe with the desert blues’ special mixture of psyche guitar and North African percussion - which almost sound like the soundtrack to hiking in the Sahara under an infinite sky.

Roskilde acquaintances
Womex provides not only an opportunity for exploring the stars of tomorrow. The festival also allows for a reunion with old Roskilde acquaintances.
Among other things, Colombian Systema Solar, who played a festive concert with their mix of house, hip hop, techno and various Colombian genres at Roskilde Festival 2010.
and Juju, with electric guitar and ritti, drums and bass, western psych and African magic, played at the new intimate scene Gloria in 2011.
