New Post: TikTok Undercuts Artists With Claims of ‘Free Promotion.’ It’s the Oldest Trick in the Book (Guest Column) - https://lnkd.in/gpYwjvhk - For as long as there’s been a “music business,” creators have been fighting for their fair share, and modern history is replete with examples of corporations trying to shortchange music makers. Case-in-point: AM/FM radio, where U.S. broadcasters have been getting away with paying artists $0 from their $15 billion-a-year revenue – despite the fact that music is their main input. Their argument? Because radio is supplying “free promotion” for the musicians, they don’t deserve a cut of the profits. Big broadcasters have been pushing this excuse since the 1930s. Fast forward almost a century, and we’re now seeing this play out with new technology – most recently with the dispute betweenTikTok and Universal Music Group (UMG). Using the same argument as radio broadcasters, TikTok claims its platform provides “free promotion” to artists, and it’s therefore trying to undercut what they pay for the use of their music. But UMG refused to fall for this ploy and has now pulled all of its content from the platform until TikTok agrees to an appropriate licensing fee. As a result, about one-third of the most popular recordings on TikTok, including music from Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish, are now unavailable on the platform. (And this trend may grow if the dispute expands to the publishing side of the business, with indie publishers’ TikTok license due to expire in April.) Related Why Some Indie Artists Are Also Struggling With UMG’s TikTok Ban 02/29/2024 UMG is doing the right thing by standing up for its artists. The label is making the case that creators should be paid fairly for the use of their tracks, in line with other platforms. (It also seeks to protect artists from the harmful effects of unregulated AI and encourages online safety protocols for users, two things all of us should support.) UMG recognizes that the lure of potentially viral promotion is in no way a substitute for fair compensation to hard-working creators. Long before social media, companies using others’ musical property have sought to avoid paying fairly for that privilege because of this outdated argument around “promotion.” They tried it in the case of piano rolls, silent movie theaters, retail stores, music venues and even peer-to-peer file sharing platforms like Napster and Grokster. In each of those instances, companies tried to underpay (or not pay at all) for the music on the bogus theory that creators should “just accept the promotion, be thankful for whatever they get, and be on their merry w

The tears from the local industry players and creatives do reek of a layered brand elitism. It’s fashionable to cry for the Grammys. Even though we’re technically guests, invited to an American spectacle to diversify their ranks. We’re still fringe players at the Recording Academy, with negligible numbers incapable of swinging the odds in our favour. We still have a few voting cycles to cry some more. And that privilege of crying depends on Afrobeats maintaining its hold on pop culture. We are still building over there, and todays lesson teaches us that growth isn’t linear. Afrobeats, please hold this one. Where was this level of support for the Headies, Nigeria’s homegrown, legacy award show with 16 years of honouring the local scene? Nominees are often absent and late. The chatter about the show borders on derisory. We don’t pack our halls in honour of the event, neither are we interested in elevating it. But we can cry for the Grammy. Fashionable tears for what could have been. What we need is to return home. Tails between our legs as the realisation that all we got is us. And if we don’t take care of home, build, support and elevate it locally, we at risk of delegating our pride to foreigners. Afrobeats have intrinsic value. But the current business model has funneled the entire ecosystem into exportation. And while we can boast of improved finances and investment pathways, we’re now forced to negotiate our cultural impact on parameters that weren’t created for us, in spaces where our existence is still a moot point. Why are we hurt? Because we are playing a game that wasn’t created for us. And it sucks to lose. Perhaps, this spurs us as a creative and business class. To look inward and see our worth within us. That our local industry and all its institutions are enough, and exploration is just what it is; exploration. Perhaps across the continent, we can resurrect our reward systems, intentionally imbuing cultural power and credibility in local award shows and bodies that seek to celebrate us. And to see those platforms worthy of our artistry and ego. The Grammys snubbed Nigeria this year. And rather than mope around and petulantly kick some dust, let’s fight back by getting stronger at home. It’s the only way out.

The recent remarks by the Grammy Chairman regarding the Afrobeat category have exacerbated existing frustrations within the music community. For a process aiming for genuine authenticity, the identities and qualifications of the "certified judges in the USA" who voted remain unclear. Their apparent lack of understanding of Afrobeat's significance and nuanced elements raises serious concerns. Dismissing the public outcry by invoking subjectivity merely adds insult to injury. Voting, similar to the judicial system, shouldn't be solely subjective. Concrete evidence of an artist's work and its impact deserves thorough review and assessment by qualified, unbiased individuals with a deep understanding of the genre. Anything less undermines the credibility and relevance of the Grammys. And to those who say people who have objections to the outcome are sore losers, I sincerely want you to experience such a situation where you have worked for years and at the point of you getting rewarded, it is handed over to someone else entirely. That way you begin to see clearly why this is an issue. No hate here but voting can't be subjective not in this case,

EY development and support for infrastructure is a crucial piece of the musical jigsaw.
We are thrilled to be kicking off our Arts Council England funded project 'Creative Cultural Partnerships' which will enable us to work with cultural organisations here in the North West - libraries and museums - to develop early years music sessions. These sessions will follow a shared delivery model where staff in our partner organisations will work alongside Note Weavers to deliver sessions, building skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to deliver sessions independently. We will also work to connect the cultural organisations with their music hubs/services to develop partnerships and sustainability into their music provision for early years.

New Post: Spain’s Music Market Is Booming As It Welcomes Latin Talent From Around The Globe - https://lnkd.in/gsYywZN8 - Spain is alive with the sound of music. In the last 12 months alone, the country launched a new Academy of Music and will hold its first awards in Spain in May; it also hosted the Latin Grammys in Seville in November, the first time the awards show was presented outside the United States. And music sales are booming. Total music revenue in 2022 reached its highest mark since 2006 — 462 million euros ($498 million) — while revenue from sales and streaming rose 11.5% in the first half of 2023 to 214.3 million euros ($231 million), compared with the same period in 2006, according to trade group Promusicae. In the live-music arena, 2022 ticket revenue reached a record gross of 459 million euros ($495 million), according to Spain’s Association of Musical Promoters. And according to IFPI, music consumption in Spain per capita stands at an average of 20.9 hours each week, exceeding the global average of 20.1. Related Latin Artists Fuel Dramatic Growth of Spain’s Live Scene 03/08/2024 While some of the growth can be attributed to post-pandemic recovery, a plethora of new business models along with an infusion of “Latin” music — that is, music in Spanish that comes from Latin America and the U.S. Latin market instead of Spain — are also fueling a music industry that feels more dynamic and ebullient than it has been in years, since its heyday as one of the world’s top 10 music markets, a rank it held as recently as 2009. “The Spanish market in recent years has stood out for being key in the global positioning strategy for Latin artists. It’s in the best moment and capacity to once again be a point of reference as a country that exports music — as it was in the 1980s — and as a major presence in the global market,” says Narcis Rebollo, president of Universal Music Iberian Peninsula Spain & Portugal. It’s not just the market, but also the experimentation within it. Rebollo cites Universal’s booming direct-to-consumer business, the popularity of music TV shows like Operación Triunfo and La Voz Spain, as well as the opening last year of the first Umusic Hotel, in Madrid, next door to the historic, 1,000-seat Teatro Albeniz venue. In 2022, in Madrid, Warner Music Spain also opened The Music Station, an impressive multiuse space that includes label offices, theaters and recording studios, and Sony Music Spain just opened its state-of-the-art 5020 studios, also in the capital city. “Our music had never generated so much interest, and this generates competition in many fronts,” says José María Barbat
