Babel Med Music, 24-26 March

One of the key events in the world music calendar, Babel Med Music takes place every spring in Marseille. It feels like a festival and operates as a trade fair, with a focus on live acts and international booking. The next edition runs from the 24th to the 26th March at the Dock Des Suds venue. Over 2500 music professionals from around the world will attend the daytime conferences and workshops, with evening concerts also open to the public – last year over 13,000 people partied on the docks. For three days there are 10 shows a night and this year’s packed programme includes Lebanon’s oud master Charbel Rouhana, Chile’s cumbia king Chico Trujillo and the gnawa/hip-hop mash of Marseille’s own Watcha Clan.
