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

¡Globalquerque!
In 2005, AMP Concerts and Avokado Artists, working the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC), launched ¡Globalquerque! – New Mexico’s Annual Celebration of World Music and Culture. The inaugural festival was an affiliated showcase event of the Western Arts Alliance (WAA) Conference and featured thirteen international and local acts (over 100 performers) on three stages in one night at the NHCC. The event created a national and international buzz and was attended by notable presenters, agents and record labels from all over the country. In 2006 ¡Globalquerque! expanded into a weeklong, statewide celebration of international culture with elements spanning the entire state, culminating in the two-day festival at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, featuring educational workshops, community outreach events, the Global Village of Craft Culture and Cuisine and, of course, the best in World Music on three distinct stages. ¡Globalquerque! has hosted artists from more than forty countries and from across the US. In 2008 the festival hosted twenty performances by seventeen acts from five continents performing on three stages over two nights. The festival is unique to the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions, one of only a handful of like events around the country, and recognized as one of the premiere destination events of its kind. The 5th Annual ¡Globalquerque! will take place on September 25 & 25, 2009.
