This will be the 23rd event to focus exclusively on London's glittering spectrum of world musicians.
This year's line-up features over 80 London-based performers (20 groups and soloists) including those of African, Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American and East European descent. They are all members of London: Diaspora Capital, an ever expanding network of artists run by Cultural Co-operation.

Artists scheduled to perform include Yusuf Mahmoud Ensemble (Afghanistan), Athena (Greece), Ameer Khan (Pakistan), London Jing Kun Opera (China), Nizar al Issa and Al Zaytouna Dabke Troupe (Palestine), Errol Linton Blues Vibe (UK/Jamaica), Fuerza Vallenata (Colombia), Los Desterrados (Jewish), Conjunto Sabroso (Colombia), Waeil (Egypt), Lokito ya Congo (Congo), Ethio Traditional Band (Ethiopia), Balkanatics (Balkans/Turkey), Kasai Masai (Congo).
