Jouhiorkesteri has been invited to perform in the official showcase programme of WOMEX World Music Expo. Womex takes place October 29 - November 2, 2008 in Sevilla, Spain. Jouhiorkesteri was one of the first confirmed showcase acts announced by Womex in mid-July. This is a significant achievement: the Womex showcase programme is highly competitive, and hundreds of acts apply for showcase possibility every year. Only about 40 performers are elected to the selection, which often does not favor acts from European countries.
Several of the invited professionals at the showcase were influential also at Womex, and they were impressed about Finnish contemporary folk music, jouhikko and Jouhiorkesteri.
Womex World Music Expo is the most significant gathering of world music professionals. Each year, around 3000 gatekeepers including promoters, agents, record companies and media from all over the world attend Womex.
