New member: Russian World Music Awards Festival

The Russian World Music Awards is the first professional award in Russia in the field of ethnic music. Last year, 90 musical groups from 27 cities were presented to the jury. Voting was held with 12 judges, consisting of experts in the field of ethnic music from 9 countries.

For three years now, founders of the Russian World Music Awards, Natalia Myazina and Daryana Antipova, have been supporting and motivating professional musicians whose work does not fit into the modern standard of popular music, but draws inspiration from the deep traditions of Russian ethnic culture.

The mission of the award is the development of world and ethnic music in Russia and abroad, improving the image of Russia in the modern world, and fostering good international ties, by promoting its rich and vibrant Culture, Music, History and Art.
