I want to be part of the panel, what can I do?

The Transglobal World Music Chart (TWMC) panel is limited. If the panel is full, new members might be added only after the removal or resignation of another panelist. Although we have a waiting list for new candidates, the period spent in the waiting list is not an admission decisive factor.

Admission criteria:

  • Candidates working in any kind of media (radio, press, TV, online radio/podcast/magazine…), disseminating world music on a broad basis, not specializing exclusively in one country/region/style.
  • Diversity is important to us. Candidates from less represented regions of the world are preferable, as they are aware of local releases that would not reach the international scene without that support.
  • Candidates with a solid record of accomplishment in the field of disseminating world music are preferable.
  • Candidates from more high profile/relevant media are preferable, as they may provide more exposure to the artists and music on our charts to larger audiences.
  • Participants in similar world music charts or polls with frequent activity are not eligible. Individuals who participate in annual, regional/national or occasional polls are eligible.

Notice also that TWMC is a non-lucrative independent initiative (the economic benefits, if any, would be reinvested in the objectives of the initiative) with an undeniable spirit of service to culture and to humanity, but not a public institution.

Final decisions rest with the TWMC founders and administrators. Considering all these, if you would like to apply to become a member of the panel, email us and tell us:

  • Why do you want to be part of our panel.
  • Which are your activities related to world music.
  • Where are you located?

In addition, feel free to send us your CV/resume or any other information that could support your candidacy.
