Ibermúsicas Global – English

What is Ibermúsicas Global?

A space that promotes new programming opportunities and potential international artistic engagements.

Ibermúsicas is an International Cooperation Program that seeks to strengthen the professional and artistic development of musicians and professionals linked to the music industry.

For more than 10 years, it has fostered networks and internationalized more than 8,000 Ibero-American artists, researchers, and managers with an investment of more than US$9,000,000. Now, Ibermúsicas launches “Ibermúsicas Global,” a new initiative that facilitates virtual networking sessions (Speed ​​Meetings) through its platform.

Ibermúsicas Global strengthens the regional music scene, facilitating connections and bookings, expanding agendas, and generating artistic opportunities both in Ibero-America and in new global territories such as Africa, Asia, North America, and Oceania.
