For nearly 17 years, WAX BOOKING has placed African and Afrodescendant musical cultures at the heart of its commitment, reaching beyond socio-political divides: music, and nothing but music.

We refuse to compromise and reject any artistic approach that panders to commercial ease. This position comes at a price, and the turbulence in the cultural sectorsreminds us daily.

The time is right to proudly affirm the presence of non-diasporic artists on our roster, despite the logistical and financial challenges of distance. It is a strong commitment to preserving their roots in their cultural homelands.

Thisapproach is based on the principle that any musical culture severed from its homeland loses its emotional intensity; it may wither away, reinvent itself, or run the risk of being reappropriated for the sake of commercial entertainment.

The situation in the industry forces us to reinforce our determination to fighton, with the aim of being among the survivors of this turbulent period.
