We realize the term "World Music" is very broad (and to be honest, we like it that way). With that in mind, we will be very open-minded in allowing content to be added to our website. We will delete content for commercial rock, pop, country and other acts that drastically misrepresent our musical genre. We also ask that you be responsible to make sure the content you add is accurate. We also ask that you don't add any content that you don't own the rights to. We will delete any content at the request of the rights holder. We will also delete any porn or spam content. Please keep your content to a reasonable length. We will be very liberal in our judgment, but we do reserve the right to edit content when needed and de-activate members when absolutely necessary.
You can help us keep or community focused and accurate. Please report any dead links, incorrect information or suspect content to
