MIDEM 2001

From January 21 to 25 in the French city of Cannes, the 35th edition of MIDEM will take place, considered to be one of the most important record fairs in the world. In the fair there will be participation by labels, record companies, publishers, distributors, authors rights societies, collecting bodies, retailers, agents, artists, producers, promoters, concert organisers, cd manufacturers, lawyers, official organisations, online companies, press, radios, television...

The Balearic Government has a stand in this fair to promote the music of the Islands. In this space, they will offer the promotional record "Música de les Illes Balears" that includes 28 numbers from record companies: Blau, Ona Digital, Runaway Records, Swing Media, Primeros Pasitos, ACA, Slurp, Re 9 and Isladencanta. What is more, the General Direction for Culture has edited a leaflet that lists contact details for all the record companies of the Balearics.

MIDEM includes, for the second year running, MidemNet, a meeting dedicated to the relationship between music and Internet, that will be held today, January 20, as a preliminary event, in which a day of conferences and debates on the development of the music market on Internet will be proposed. During the event, the MidemNet Prizes will be handed over, to compensate the best musical webs.
