At WOMEX, Dirk & Gertrud Schmalenbach, Juergen M Schroeder and Dario Schepisi promoted SMT's A Song For Peace initiative as well as the group's own DEMO Cd and their main sponsor's action "FOR TOLERANCE" (industrial union IGBCE, Germany). There were contacts with more than 100 companies, from radio stations and music magazines to record labels. About 70 'LOVE' DEMO Cds and a small number of SMT DEMOS were distributed to people interested in the whole project and/or in single artists. The most promising contacts referred to the African artists and René Simon's new salsa project. The rest of the DEMO Cds are on their way to the authors to be used for promotion in 18 countries of the world.
