Mundial is where North America’s largest gathering of talent buyers and tastemakers connect intimately to create opportunities for the global music community. The event is creating an unprecedented community network of partners and presenters from across the country and abroad with a common goal: to develop touring opportunities nationally, and beyond ! Mundial Montreal also created a special series by and for Indigenous Music across the world : Indigenous Sounds Series. It secures a place for artists from Indigenous communities in Mundial Montréal’s programming. It highlights the talent, presence and diversity of the many Indigenous communities across Canada and even further. The series showcases professional, export-ready artists and is accompanied by professional development activities, mentoring sessions and other targeted networking activities. This unique component of the world music industry’s professional events, initiated by Mundial Montréal, was developed to create a bridge for artists to benefit from visibility and touring opportunities in new mainstream markets.
