Music Bridges: connecting the Pacific, Africa and Europe through music!
Music Bridges is a project to reinforce the creation and the production of music goods in Vanuatu and Mozambique building on south-south cooperation, networking and distribution circuits between regional and European artistic contexts. Diverse and talented young musicians from two regions, Melanesia and Southern Africa, are engaged through creative platforms to share amongst one another and discover innovative ways of promoting themselves, their music and their culture. 
Singaot Musik Kamp (October 2013 in Vanuatu) was the first main event: over 60 musicians participated, hailing from Pacific islands including Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, West Papua, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea, African countries such as Mozambique and La Reunion, and Austria and Australia.  With such a diverse group of talented traditional musicians, it was sure to be an incredible experience for all! 

The project is implemented by COSV, Further Arts and Music Crossroads Mozambique, in collaboration with Lettera27 and Somas. The project is co-funded by the EU-ACP Culture+ program.
