The WCMF, a strategic stage for bouyon
Every October, the World Creole Music Festival turns Roseau into the world capital of Creole music. For bouyon artists, it is the gathering where collaborations, deals and recognition are decided.
One festival, one ecosystem
Around the three nights of concerts revolve the media, the partners from the French Antilles and France, and the conversations that will decide the following year’s releases. Bouyon Shattaz sees it as the moment to launch its services for artists: rights clinic, content and distribution network.
