This initiative, launched in 2009 in Budapest, and then organized in Belgrade and Katowice, is aimed at inviting musicians from different cultures to a short artistic residency programme.
We are going to choose 18 musicians and ask them to form 3 bands. These bands will have 5 days to produce a programme of 45-60 minutes which is going to be performed on stage at Babel Sound Festival and Amy Stage in Budapest.
The artistic residency is going to take place between 22-28 of July in Balatonboglár, Hungary, during the Babel Sound artist residency and festival. Accommodation and subsitence will be provided by the festival. Travel expenses must be agreed separately for each person.
During the residency week, you will have the opportunity to meet and create with more than a hundred musicians from different professional backgrounds. Well-known artists, like Manou Gallo, Shlomo Bar, Yasser Haj Youssef, Manuel Hermia, Omri Mor and others from the field of world music, jazz, blues and traditional music have already participated in this event, sharing the unique experience.
