Migration puts the ‘world’ in world music

Migration Music Festival goes south this year

Lin said that the Migration Music Festival, while primarily designed as a way of introducing the rich variety of non-mainstream music to Taiwan, also takes an active part in promoting greater multi-cultural awareness in Taiwan. “This is particularly the case with the increasing presence of foreign brides and domestic help,” Lin said. Nityalila’s performance has been scheduled for the afternoon of Oct. 4, when organizers hope that Filipino domestic workers might be best able to attend. Special ticket prices of NT$150 for Filipino nationals will be available for that concert.
