"More than 40 music professionals from around the world, including festival directors, producers, distributors and journalists participated in the PMX Palestine Music Expo, in Jerusalem. The expo was held in coordination with the SHAFAQ – Jerusalem Arts Network [2], the National Music Institute [3] and the Yabus Cultural Center. [4] A tour was organized in the Old City, Jerusalem, then they were hosted at the Yabus Center, where Palestinian bands from Jerusalem performed for them.
Jerusalem is an important and central station for the participants. We thank PMX, the organizers of the expo in Ramallah.
