Vildá wowed the cognoscenti at the opening concert of last October's WOMEX world music expo in Tampere, Finland with their vibrant blends of tradition and experimentation. Their debut album Wildprint (Bafe's Factory) has gotten rave reviews too. Meet Vildá in an interview and EBU radio studio performance recorded live at WOMEX!

Massive thanks to our board ops Ruth Hayduk and Olivia Bradley-Skill, to Albert Hosp of Direct Austria who hosted Vilda's live set in the WOMEX EBU radio studio, and to the WOMEX Radio Studio team who made this possible: Sigtor Kjetså and Tore Steen from NRK (Norway), Matti Littunen from YLE (Finland) and Janko Sadnik from WDR (Germany).

    Immigration Equality is the leading LGBTQ immigrant rights organization in the country. It provide s advice and legal services to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants seeking refuge, fair treatment, and freedom in the United States.
