All "characteristically American musical genres are welcome" including indie rock, punk, hip hop and Zydeco. The program is limited to groups of 3 to 5 people. The deadline for initial application is January 6 at 5 pm PST. That's not a lot of time but if you have high quality videos available and fit the guidelines you've still got time to prepare a competitive application. [American Music Abroad](http://amvoices.org/ama/?ref=hypebot.com) (via [Music Row](http://www.musicrow.com/2013/12/american-music-abroad-deadline-approaching/?ref=hypebot.com)) sends American trios, quartets and quintets on tour to connect cultures and, obviously, build good will for the U.S. The [program](http://amvoices.org/ama/apply/?ref=hypebot.com) is a "partnership between American Voices and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs." Participation includes a pre-tour program for a school or community center in Washington, DC. This is a paid tour and a great opportunity to expand your perspective on who your audience might be: "The U.S. Department of State funds international travel, hotels and meals. In addition, a modest tour honorarium of $200 per day spent on the road is awarded to each individual musician in an ensemble." [More details](http://amvoices.org/ama/apply/faqs/?ref=hypebot.com) are available including such important info as: "Most tours will last for approximately 35 days making compensation per musicians approximately $7000." "Touring musicians, when abroad, are covered by a standard State Department medical and accident coverage."
