Gibraltar - 12th January 2015 - The Gibraltar World Music Festival organisers today held a press conference at the floating luxury hotel the Sunborn in Gibraltar. The line up for this years GWMF’s 2015 edition was presented by as well as this years festival theme - ‘Khamsa’.

The organisers highlighted the importance of the event which brings together a fusion of cultures considering the political backdrop during the past weeks which has seen terror threats across Europe. The GWMF has become a must go event in the calendar of other prestigious Music, Cultural festivals and forums in the world.
