Australia Songs and Stories Abroad is a pilot project, promoting emerging and diverse Australian music internationally. Collaborating with US-based Australian Music Alliance (AMA) and Los Angles radio station KCRW, the CBAA is distributing a weekly radio series featuring contemporary musicians from across Australia, including regional and bushfire-affected areas. COVID-19 permitting, cultural exchange events and media coverage in both countries will promote this initiative and cultivate stronger international connections between industries. Dozens of Australian musicians have already been highlighted on Los Angles radio station KCRW.
