Welcome to Santiago. For the second time in its European travel itinerary, the international music networking meeting Womex will be welcomed to a Spanish city. The journey's end for millions of devout pilgrims via the "Way of St. James" since the 9th century, the legendary city of Santiago de Compostela will also be WOMEX's destination from Wednesday, 22 to Sunday, 26 October 2014.
Declared a Unesco World Heritage city for the extraordinary and well-preserved architecture of its beautiful old town, Santiago de Compostela has been an important meeting place of faith, thinking and cultural exchange since the Middle Ages, reflected also by its prestigious university founded in the 15th century. Situated in the western extreme of Southern Europe, Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia, renowned for its lush green hills and wild coastline lapped by the Atlantic Ocean; its ancient traditions; its widely-spoken native language, Galician; its extraordinary cuisine - and, of course, its music. Artists from Galicia who have showcased their talent at Womex in the past few years include Berrogüetto Mercedes Péon, Cristina Pato, Mutenrohi, Narf, Xosé Manuel Budiño and Marful.
