World music system celebrates music and rhythms in a Universal way to join in the fight against racism. We have the belief that through culture you can cross any borders. We offer performances but we also like to teach our knowledge, we work in many different ways, languages and art forms.  The core of World Music System is Camilla Heidenberg Agbazahou and Georges Agbazahou. You can also read about some of our partners and artists we cooperate with, especially CLAN (Contes et Legéndes d’Afrique Noire)
