The story
AME Praia Showcase Nights in Auditório Nacional Jorge Barbosa/Praia
Showcase concerts at Praia's Auditorio Nacional Jorge Barbosa form the performance core of the Atlantic Music Expo, a music-industry conference held each April just before the Kriol Jazz Festival. Cabo Verdean acts play to a mixed audience of the public and touring international bookers and programmers.
Held each year at the start of April, just days before the city's own Kriol Jazz Festival takes over the same venues, the Atlantic Music Expo turns its showcase nights at the Auditorio Nacional Jorge Barbosa into the industry-facing hinge between the two events.
