ABOUT WAMA
ABOUT WAMA
The Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) was a non-profit tax exempt organization of music industry professionals committed to raising the profile of the region's diverse music community. WAMA's main goal was promoting Washington area music in general and achieving national recognition of the region as an important center for live and recorded music. Just as the nation's capital is comprised of a rich cross section of cultures, WAMA's membership embraced all musical styles from classical, bluegrass, go-go, R&B, and reggae, to rock, jazz and folk. WAMA has officially dissolved and passed the mantle to The MusicianShip.
