LMI's Anticipated Music Concert Tours, Concert Series and Festivals

Inspired by prior work done by LB Ventures and business models of leading non-profit presenting organizations, LMI’s aim is to to market emerging and developing Lusophone artists to audiences and fans in North America by partnering with University and traditional performing arts centers to host live concerts featuring Lusophone music and performances.

LMI will provide Luso artists with entrée into a wide range of venues that host world music in general, in our quest to increase the market size of this “niche” genre. In turn, this will enable us to bring more Luso artists to the North American market.

Whether Luso music appears in North America as a series of tours by individual artists or bands, or in a festival format featuring multiple artists, is to be determined based on the partnerships we will develop over the coming months and years.

These collaborations create a coordinated network of partners whose combined efforts with LMI create a formidable platform and touring circuit for our developing and leading artists, and  provide the artist with a built-in artist development mechanism that will allow them to continue to grow and prosper in their career.
