Le Feu wins Lourenne's Nomination to FOMAT XVIII

Le Feu, a duo group from Valois, have been chosen to represent the nation at the next FOMAT festival. Le Feu will be preforming their debut song "C'est pur feu", a song that describes Lourenne's deteriorating society just years ago.

The song by Le Feu describes what the nation's youth have felt for decades. Living in a world where everything is on fire; however, it has a theme that describes their future. A future in which everything will be ok.

FOMAT held officially in Lodamun after 10 years of silence, official winners announced!
FOMAT has been hosted in Lodamun at last, after series of reforms, new infrastructure projects as well rioters who are dissatisfied with the use of money. The international world once again lent their ears onto Lodamun, and especially Providence, the capital of Lodamun, the heart of the socialist cause and the center of philosophy and education of highest prestige.

In Providence the event lasted for 1 week, with smaller singers singing to gain visibility, beer being shared and themed and amusement parks being the favorite choice of foreign tourists, who on the seventh day could participate to the concert held by many important renown bands and singers around the globe, all with their qualities and great entries.

Following amazing prestation as well usage of drugs which spiked, the ranking has been made public by the officials appointed by the government, acquiring the judges' total tally and compiling thus a comprehensive list with the winners.

On the first place had came the song from Luthori, called "Pineapple", a total hit that rocked the nation of Lodamun, resulting in it topping the local charts and inspiring new singers to replicate that vibe and mood changing song.

The final results are here:

FOMAT XIX To be Held in Kalistan

Image

The Organizing Committee for FOMAT in Kalistan has announced the date for the upcoming FOMAT XIX festival.

"We will hold the next installment of FOMAT at the Global Music Hall of Fame in Luxon Ananto, Republic of Kalistan on April 30, 5082. We have firm commitments from the minimum number of 5 countries and Kalistan, to make the festival a good representation. Unlike years past, FOMAT will not be a contest, so the only requirements for registration is that the song a nation chooses should be a popular song in the participating nation's country. We have raised the money from international investors to afford to fly all participants, their road crew and a cadre of their fans to Kalistan for the event. Festivities will occur during the entire week prior to the main event, and all countries are encouraged to make full use of their respective pavilions, to display information about their nation's music scenes and tastes, as well as bringing lesser known bands to the festival. The Main Stage will be occupied by Certified Participants on the final night who will each perform a song of their nation's choice for a globally televised and livestreamed broadcast celebrating world music and national artistic pride."


Committed Nations so far are Lourenne, Talmoria, Dolgava, Rutania, Hutori, and Kalistan, with additional applicants expected to commit in the near future. All nations are asked to post articles featuring their nation's experiences at FOMAT in this forum, and a telescript of the nights events will be posted here following the event.

WELCOME BACK to FOMAT!!

FOMAT Organizing Committee says FOMAT XIX on for next year
Minimum Country Commitment Achieved after a decade of effort

Organizing Committee chairwoman Monique Xavier announces FOMAT XIX at GMHoF in Luxon

Meeting the minimum requirement for organizing a new FOMAT in Kalistan has been a tough sell over the years. Many countries boycotted the last few events of the legendary music contest, and the contest has not been held in 112 years. But FOMAT Organizing Committee Chairwoman Monique Xavier, who is currently curator of Collections at the Global Music Hall of Fame in Luxon Ananto, announced last week that more than five nations besides Kalistan had committed to sending musicians to a new FOMAT to be held in Kalistan.

"We are happy to announce that we have firm commitments from at least five nations to send music to FOMAT, and Kalistan has therefore volunteered to host the event," said Xavier at a Press Conference. "FOMAT XIX's theme is 'A New Day', and this theme, which is reflected in the Festival's official logo, aims at restarting the beloved festival to encourage music arts in the World."

Xavier announced several changes to the format of the festival. "First off, we decided that the festival should be a cooperative event rather than one which features competition as its centerpiece. While that did drive the event to focus on the competition, it also lead to national boycotts, bad feelings, and diminution of the spirit of the event, which is to showcase the World's best music." In addition, the Committee announced that instead of just being one night, FOMAT XIX would be a week long festival designed to attract music fans from all over the world to get together, meet one another, and listen to music they might not always have access to. "The name is festival of musical arts. It should be a festival. And if Kalistan knows one thing, it is how to put on a huge music festival."

This festival format also fulfills one long term Kalistani ambition, which is to host an international music festival along the lines of the GanJam. "The good thing about using the FOMAT festival is that we can attract countries that do not show our attitudes on drugs to Kalistan to play music here. It is reasonable that countries should come to the center of popular music and play their music for the whole world to hear."

The week long festival will feature national pavilions where countries can showcase their national music scenes. "We hope festival goers will tour the different pavilions, learn about styles, history, and flavors of music from around the world, and listen to great bands playing." said Xavier. "Exposing everyone to the music of the world will be a benefit not only to the Kalistani music scene, but will cross pollinate and lead to sharing of music styles and palates for everyone in attendance." The pavilions will also feature vendor stalls where bands can sell their records and merchandise, and promote themselves. "And of course there will also be food," said Xavier with a laugh. The entire event will culminate in a show on the main GMHoF stage, where each country will nominate a band to perform a sample of the popular music from their country. "This will be the first time in over one hundred years artists from so many different countries shared the same stage. It is a real treat to even think of."

Committee fundraising has adequately covered the entire cost of the festival as well as the cost of transportation for the band and its road crew, as well as a plane load of fans who will travel to the event free of charge. "We also will make the entire event free admission and will provide lodging for the entire week in and around Luxon. We also encourage people to take time out from the Festival and tour Kalistan with inexpensive charter flights going from Luxon to Kaliburg and Sulari." The goal is to boost attendance, both domestic and foreign.

"We know that the show will seem kind of weird without the competition aspect," said Xavier, "But I think we have enough to do around the festival that the final event will be a nice chill way to kick back, relax and enjoy some music one final time before heading back home again. Hopefully our festival, which eschews the competition and the controversy, and relaxes rules on submission of contestants, will inspire more non-competitive FOMATS in the future, and more countries will seek to volunteer to host FOMATS in the future."

The festival is expected to draw more than 50,000 music fans from around the world.

Los Coyotes to represent Kalistan at FOMAT XIX
KME Artists from Sulari to play their 5081 hit "Ningún Perdón"

Sulari, Suldanor
March 1, 5082

Los Coyotes, seen here overlooking Sulari at dusk, record for LTD Records, and were chosen because of their "chill sound and fun atmosphere"

Adult Contemporary KME rock band Los Coyotes has been selected to represent the Republic next month at FOMAT XIX. The group beat out seventeen other nominees to claim top honors in a listener poll held in January by KRTVN M7.

"We are happy to get the chance to represent the Republic at the festival," said lead singer and rhythm guitarist Dave Angel Cruz. "We didn't even know we were nominated until (bassist) Bobby (Verde) told us to check M7, where they were doing the poll. I was like 'What? Ain't that show for kids? But no. Looks like we won the vote. So, I guess we'll go to Luxon."

The veteran KME musicians have a dedicated and very loyal following over their more than 15 years of making music in Suldanor and Odufaray. They have more than 10 albums to their credit, and play festivals across the Republic. The song the band will be playing is featured on their most recent album La Patria which was released by LTD last year. "We sing more frequently in Vrassan, but we chose 'Ningún Perdón' because it kind of has a Gaduri sound that people can really dance to. And it is kind of reggae infused as well. It's actually a pretty catchy tune, and Kalistan is known for bringing interesting tunes to FOMAT." We really look forward to playing for an international audience."

Los Coyotes will be taking a break from their touring schedule to go to the Festival. "It's kind of a cool thing. We've played the Hall many times, of course, but this time the whole world will be watching. I definitely want to check out some of the pavillions," said Cruz. "My wife and kids will be there too. It should be a lot of fun."

FOMAT XIX will be broadcast live around the world from the Global Music Hall of Fame in Luxon, Ananto on terrestrial, satellite and internet sources on April 30 of this year.

Singer-songwriter Kamira Mou to represent Kalopia at FOMAT
The songstress is one of the most well-known artists in Kalopia and was a fierce oppositor to the military dictatorship


Image

Composer and singer Kamira Mou has been announced this morning as the representative of Kalopia in the next FOMAT. With her song "The Night Will Bring The Light" (Η νύχτα θα φέρει το φως) the artist wants to invite us to dance and enjoy the present, hoping for a better future. The song could almost reflect the changes that Kalopia has undergone after the fall of the military dictatorship, of which Mrs. Mou was a great opponent, and a reflection of the new changes that the leaders of Kalopia want to show the international community.

In the interview with the media, the singer acknowledged that she would not have agreed to represent Kalopia if FOMAT continued with the previous competition format.

"For me, as an established artist, it would seem ugly to take away the possibility of new talents to make themselves known on the international scene in a song contest. Also, I would not feel comfortable competing against other colleagues in the guild to see who is "the better". However, with this new format, when they offered it to me, I accepted without hesitation. I hope the international community likes my song as much as it did in Kalopia. Also, the style and composition of the song, for me, its really fitting with the style of an international festival to celebrate music around the world".


The truth is that Mrs. Mou, who has fans all over Terra, has already accumulated millions of views on the official video clip of her song, which you can listen to here.
