PRESS RELEASE - 15/7/2016
The future of recorded music in the World Music genre, and particularly the album format, is one of the key subjects of the conference program at Womex in Santiago de Compostela in Spain in October 2016. The panel topic is - Is there a future for World Music Albums?
Four music industry professionals from different sides of the business will give their prognoses of where things are going.
The panel includes Ninder Johal, CEO of the Nachural Music Group from the UK (Birmingham). Ninder is both artist and music executive. He is a percussionist in the popular Bhangra band, Achanak which shook up the UK Asian music scene in the 2000s. The Nachural label successfully combined elements of Asian music with dance music to create a stream of acts that rose to the top of the UK and international club scene.
Denmark based Carolina Vallejo, works with international acts as an agent and producer and is herself directly at the crossroads of asking the question posed by this panel title. It is hoped that she can shed some light on how an indie producer can make ends meet. Her One World Music firm has recently got into recorded music production. She comes from a design background.
From the USA, Scott Cohen is co-founder and VP of the most important indie digital distributor, The Orchard, as well as an artist manager. He joins the panel to suggest different scenarios for producers to consider before investing in recording a new album as well as hopefully let on some of the secrets of the digital music game, in particular the myths surrounding streaming.
The panel is put together and chaired by Hamburg based, music industry veteran, Patrick Lee-Thorp who runs world music label, Mountain Records and is also a music publisher and producer with experience in major and indie record companies.
The conference will take place at 15.15 in Conference Room 2, on Friday 21/10 at the - Cidade da Cultura - Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
