World City Music Village Festival Weekend - 05-06.07.14
Cultural Co-operation present the World City Music Village Festival Weekend .
Steal away from the sunshine and dance the day away with Cultural Co-operation at its first ever indoor Festival, held in partnership with Wilton's Music Hall, a hidden treasure of a Victorian music venue, tucked away in a historic area of East London. The event is hosted by DJ Ritu. The stage line-up showcases cosmopolitan London at its creative best, bringing together London-based performers from Bulgaria; Madagascar; Syria; Venezuela… and many more. Their joyful sounds and words testify to the importance of creativity in generating intercultural dialogue, understanding and peace in a World City.
