On 3 March we celebrate the fourth edition of the Music Freedom Day. The Music Freedom Day has been created by Freemuse, an international organisation which advocates freedom of expression in music.

Every year the celebrations become more and more international, and this year they will take place in Copenhagen, Paris, New York, Cairo, Kabul and The Hague, the city of the International Court of Justice and Civil Rights. One of the projects is the launch of the music record “Listen to the banned”.

This year Indeks 73 Initiative has actively joined the Music Freedom Day celebrations aiming to counter censorship in music. On 2 March, the day before the Music Freedom Day, we invite all to the debate on free music and freedom in music. Participants of the debate are musicians, researchers, culture animators and Indeks 73 activists
