Introducing: World Music Central

Website: http://www.worldmusiccentral.org

Durham, North Carolina, USA - World Music Central, www.worldmusiccentral.org, is pleased to announce the soft launch of its Web site.

Online since April of 2003, World Music Central is the reincarnation of World Music Portal. The new version of the Web site offers daily news, CD reviews and articles. World Music Central is now interactive and has many new and exciting features.

The New Sections include:
· User registration. Registering allows users to author articles and news, participate in forums and customize their own personal calendar.
· The Submissions section allows registered users and anonymous users to submit news stories: tour information, CD releases, new book information, conferences, events, trade shows, obituaries, etc.
· Calendar. This exciting section lists events that will be taking place in the coming weeks or months. Users can submit information about their events. Registered users can also customize their own calendar and add personal information such as birthdays and anniversaries.
· Forum allows users to participate in discussions and to create new threads.
· Links allows registered and anonymous users to submit links automatically.
· Comments. Users can comment on every news piece and other stories featured on the site.
· E-mail forwarding and printing of news.

World Music Central is an all-volunteer effort. It began as an initiative of music journalist and record producer, Ángel Romero. The purpose is to develop an educational and informative world music Web site that features the latest information together with resources for music fans, industry professionals and academics. The Web site’s definition of World Music is: traditional and contemporary folk and roots music from all over the world.
The portal features current news; CD, book and film reviews; artist profiles & discographies; resources such as glossaries, descriptions of musical instruments, and listings of world music festivals, record labels, booking agents and media: radio, press, TV and online media.

In a next phase, the Resources section will be replaced by an interactive database that will be more user friendly. And there will also be streaming video and audio.

World Music Central is now hosted by ibiblio.org, a collaboration of the Center For The Public Domain and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

World Music Central is a non-profit venture and welcomes donations.

For more information, please contact: Angel Romero, World Music Central, info@worldmusiccentral.org. Phone: +1 (919) 416-9454.
