World Music - Cultural areas

We are at the beginning of an extraordinary project : linking Quebec percussionists involved in world music to Canada and the planet, in our big global village. We need your impressions, ideas and suggestions. Let us know about your expertise, your vision of things. We need you to participate in this adventure!

Do not forget to check our calendar and to send us information about your percussion concerts or world music events, as well as your prefered hyperlinks.

Although we have put in this section most of the world music related information, some material crossing many cultural areas could be found in the Instruments section. These specific pieces of information will be posted here as well.

A très bientôt !
