| The German world music award RUTH
is a joint venture by MDR Figaro and TFF.Rudolstadt. The
annual award ceremony takes place on Saturday at TFF; it is broadcasted
live by MDR Figaro.
Giving a prize to outstanding musicians shall improve the public
awareness of this sector of the German music business (compared
with other countries, and also with other categories such as pop/rock,
jazz, or classical music). A
RUTH is awarded in the sections „German World Music“
- for music with roots in local traditions - and „Global
World Music“ - for musicians living in Germany but with
roots in other regional traditions.
Each year the jury also bestows one or more „Honorary RUTH(s)“
on institutions or individuals with high merits in this field
of music.
