WATCH THE VIDEOS, CONTINUE THE DISCUSSIONS!

Many thanks to all of you who joined us at "Right! Freedom of Music & Speech" last week. Your participation made the day just as inspiring and interesting as we hoped. For those of you who could not attend the conference, all seminars and talks are available on video on this site. 

"Right! Freedom of Music & Speech" does not end with the event at Södra Teatern. We consider it as a launch; the discussions on music, freedom of expression and authors' rights will continue. One example is the proposition to make Sweden a safe haven for persecuted musicians and composers, as presented by SKAP, Freemuse and the Swedish Arts Council during a seminar at the conference.

Ramy Essam at Right!
With his song 'Irhal' ('Leave'), Ramy Essam created a soundtrack to the Egyptian revolution. On November 21st, an emotional Ramy Essam received the Freemuse Award at "Right! Freedom of Music & Speech". Ramy Essam then played Irhal in a crowded Södra Bar. Now he is back on Tahrir Square protesting against the military.
