Our History is alive!

We are always moving forward into the future, searching for new music.
We should, however, not forget our past! This year Global Music will turn 15 years old, and we are currently voting to crown our champion #167! But do you also remember what happened in the early days of the contest? I am continously working on bringing the older editions online for you to reminisce about or experience for the first time. I started backwards and have reached as far back as GM81. Now I have changed tactics and gone back to the beginning, working my way forward in time, and so far the first 5 editions of Global Music are online for you to peruse. Go explore here. Do you like our early winners? |
