May, in Malta, is fast becoming synonymous with the celebration of cultural diversity through world music.
The 2018 edition of the Malta World Music Festival (MWMF) opens its doors on May 18 and 19 to present some of the finest selection of world music acts that Malta has staged so far.
The ethos of MWMF will continue to be socially engaging, a vibrant event that opens up and reaches out to the most diverse of communities.
With a carefully curated artist line-up handpicked during artistic director Renzo Spiteri's on-going travels when performing around the world, and set in the unique Fort St Elmo, MWMF will undoubtedly be a international artistic showcase that will surpass expectations.
The line up for this year's festival is as follows.
Friday - Maltese band Cushion; international ensemble Refugees for Refugees; Afro Celt Sound System, a fusion of traditional Irish and West African music
Saturday - Spanish performer Ana Alcaide; Estonian folk band Trad.Attack!; international orchestra Electrik Gem
