Description:
Calabash is changing the way the world finances music by applying the principles of micro-credit to the music industry. Already established as the leading international music download service and the world's first fair trade music company, Calabash is using the power of online social networking to enable fans to deliver start-up capital to independent musicians from around the world. Calabash is providing opportunities to revitalize the music industry in places where the music industry has never really worked very well by developing a cottage industry of micro-financed recordings produced in music capitals across the globe.
