Sound Tracks is here to do two things.

The first is to give you the chance to listen to music selected by our music entrepreneurs and then vote for your favourite.

In listening to this music you’ll get a taste of what the wider world of music has to offer, be it hip hop, rap, pop, folk. Whatever your tastes there’s something here to discover.

The second reason for Sound Tracks is to provide feedback to our finalists from you, the music consumer. What do you like about the music they’ve selected and what do you hate? They need to learn from you – whether you’re in Manchester or Mumbai, Caracas or Cairo, Stockholm or Seoul – tell them what you think.

This is a tool to help them better understand what you’re looking for. It’s a tool to help them give their country’s music a wider audience. It’s a tool to help them grow their country’s music industry.

So if you believe that the music of every country deserves a fair chance in a globalised world and that it can help us better understand one another, this is where you can make a difference. And when you’ve made that difference send this page onto a friend and let them do the same. And don’t forget to enjoy the experience!
