  Bloomington, Indiana, USA - The 2003 edition of the Vive La World! world music tour will be taking place throughout the month of July. This year's world music caravan features Natacha Atlas (Belgium/North Africa), Electro Bamako (France/Mali), DuOud (France/Tunisia), and So Kalmery (D. R. Congo).
Born in 1997 in Central Park (New York City),Vive La World! is a nomadic festival designed to introduce North American audiences to the diversity of music produced in France, focusing on world music and electro-world sounds.
 Vive La World! helped launch the careers in America of such artists as Cheb Mami, Alabina, Rachid Taha, Orchestre National de Barbes, Amadou et Mariam, and Les Nubians. The VLW artists selected bring new sounds together with older traditional forms of music. This year’s caravan will stop in eight cities and draw a total audience of 100,000 people.
