About COSMOS
COSMOS is a globe-spanning initiative that amplifies local scenes from around the world. Through films, interviews, performances, and artist residencies, we connect international music communities and share their stories. We build long-lasting relationships and an ever-growing network of partners that support, inspire, and educate one another.
COSMOS was born out of Le Guess Who?’s mission to platform adventurous sounds that have the power to enrich lives. It’s a hub for experimentation and inspiration, and an ever-expanding network of creative minds.
COSMOS Embassies
We’re in this together.
Explore the scenes that make up COSMOS
The main goal of COSMOS is to build bridges between people who haven’t yet had a chance to cross paths, share their stories, and hear their sounds.
Every year, COSMOS sets up shop during Le Guess Who?, to bring the world’s most exciting music scenes to Utrecht. In 2024, we present new sounds from Detroit, Karachi, London, Marrakech, Nairobi, Seoul, Utrecht and Vilnius. Find out more about all our Embassies past and present here.
These embassies are the starting point for a broader network, and a resource for artists, community organizers, and listeners. COSMOS and Le Guess Who? are always looking for new partners to collaborate on showcasing their local scenes, talent, and stories.
Get in touch, we’d love to hear from you: cosmos@leguesswho.com.
