CUBADISCO 2003
VII INTERNATIONAL RECORD FAIR
Havana, Cuba, May 7 -11, 2003
DEVOTED TO GERMANY
When the human inventive was able to register, fix and multiply the sound (a
possibility that came up in the last quarter of the 19th century), nobody
could imagine that we were laying the foundations of a prodigious building
that would dominates from their height all the landscapes of a contemporary
era, the one of the industries of music
In terms of
industry, music has been currently associated mainly with records, not
without reasons: the most evident discovery occurs in that object that
became familiar since it was just a simple plate now converted in a highly
sophisticated device by means of the most amazing technological innovations.
But at
present the industries of music offer us an even more complex and
comprehensive vision It is not by chance that we are talking about
industries in plural, because they are several, even though they are
interrelated in a fabric of multiple connections.
The cultural,
sociological, economic and ethical implications involved in this event are
so important that the Organizing Committee of the International Fair
CUBADISCO has decided to dedicate its 2003 edition to be held in Havana from
7th to 11th may to the industries of music.
This project is backed up on the growing impact of these industries in the
current development of the Cuban culture and their universal projection.
It's common knowledge that music, one of the most important arts in the
spectrum of the island, has enter into the new millennium with a growing and
sustained presence in the international scenario in which not only it has
been assessed both its traditional and folkloric profiles but its
contemporary expressions as well.
This is
precisely one of the most serious challenges of the Cuban industries of
music: reflecting with sharpness and representativity the talent of the
creators; expanding and growing; and relating with the international
circuits of production, distribution and consumption, without losing their
identity.
Never before,
the Cuban record enjoyed so much health and this status will be stressed in
CUBADISCO Fair, where new records labels have also recently been launched.
They are carrying out their own editorial activities.
Subjects as
commercializing by electronic means of the different musical supports
(e-commerce), management of rights of the copyrights of the musical author,
and the sound production by electroacústics and digital means, as well as
the production of instruments, they are articulated in identity, technology
and market tracing the map of cuban industries of music.
What
CUBADISCO 2003 is proposing concerns the possibility of a close encounter
with the most varied facets of the industries of music aiming to promote
exchange, collaboration, knowledge and complementation, in an environment
marked by the fire of the island's music.
