Our main aim is to help raise the visibility of the music sector in Catalonia through several international actions. Womex has always been an important part on the international strategies for the promotion of the Catalan music industry and an excellent shop window for World Music bands from Catalonia, as well as for a great diversity of companies (management agencies, record labels, publishers, etc.) from our country. 36 Catalan companies and institutions are attending this edition of Womex to be held in Santiago de Compostela. Most of them are co-exhibitors at the Government of Catalonia – Creative Catalonia stand (number 1.77). We’d like also to recommend you the official showcases by Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés, and Nakany Kanté. Their performances have the support of the Government of Catalonia – Creative Catalonia, and the Ajuntament de Barcelona (Barcelona City Council). Through the vocal chords of the Badalona singer Maria Arnal, cradled in the sober skill of the guitarist from Flix (Tarragona) Marcel Bagés, the tradition of the popular song seems newborn: songs of 160929 Womex.indd 4 4/10/16 9:33 batre and work, lullabies, fandangos and jotas, traditional vocal music of the Iberian Peninsula, extracted from music archives and libraries that they make their own with ease and respect. Maria Arnal and Marcel Bagés will perform at the Opening Concert, on October 19 at 19:30h, at the Auditorio de Galicia. You can find in this booklet the contact details of their management, Fina Estampa. Nakany Kanté presents her second album, featuring traditional Mandinga music and a brand of Malinke pop. After her surprising first album, Saramaya, Nakany now also sings solo with guitar, sings in the Spanish language and includes Mediterranean sounds with the collaboration of Calima and Macaco. Her lyrics continue to demonstrate her social awareness, describing some of her important personal and tragic experiences. Nakany Kanté will perform at the Atlantic Connections stage (Teatro Principal), on October 21, at 21:00h. In this booklet you can find the contact details of her record label and management, Slow Walk Music and Aupamusic. This booklet lists all 36 Catalan companies and institutions, and offers you some details about their activities, interests and delegates in Womex. Should you be interested in finding out more on a particular one, please do not hesitate to contact them directly, or turn to any of the ICEC’s offices in Europe – located in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, London and Paris –for further assistance. 5 160929 Womex.indd 5 4/10/16 9:33 STAND -1.19 AGENTS 4 MUSIC / LOVE & HATE MUSIC ACTIVITIES Artist • Agent/Booker • Manager COMPANY DESCRIPTION Agents 4 Music / Love & Hate Music is an international booking and management agency based in Barcelona.
