Your Music, Amplified
All over the world, threatened and underrepresented communities risk losing their musical practices. Music is Culture (MiC) collaborates with people from those communities to help prevent that loss through projects and publishing. Our media publications are the result of close partnerships with community members who design each release to serve current and future generations of their community and display their culture on a global platform. At Music is Culture, we don’t provide a script. Project managers take the lead and choose how to broadcast their music. We’re here to help sponsor, grow, and promote the amazing work they do.
