The tenth edition of the ​ ​ international meeting of the music sector offered a feminist, cross-sectional and diverse programme, in tune with the new normality that Primavera Sound has adopted as ​ its slogan. A grain of sand with which to contribute to a change of paradigm in the centre which there shines an undeniable confirmation: that it is possible to organize an event as ​ a response to the gender gap in the industry by putting a majority of women on stage, both as speakers and as artists. It also proves that you can, definitely, create a forum in ​ which there is no room for high fives but for combat, criticism, and also, self-criticism without which we would not be able to move forward to make the music environment, a truly healthy one, as it emerged from the enlightening roundtable discussion about well-being and mental health. th st The anniversary of Primavera Pro, whose main activities took place from the 29 ​ to the 31 ​ ​ May at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, was written in purple ink, the 1 one which identifies the Insumisas (“untamed”) programme, the new section organized in ​ ​ collaboration with the association Mujeres de la Industria de la Música to discuss the ​ ​ ​ political dimension of feminism, both in the music sector and in international culture. ​ This was a first edition marked by the presence, at two roundtable discussions, of activists, writers and artists including Brigitte Vasallo, Remedios Zafra, Cristina Morales and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Rebeca Lane: an antidote to the condescending patriarchal discourse directed at women ​ who, for their part, to paraphrase the participant Clara!, know how to do their job very well ​ ​ and what button to press to turn the volume up. Primavera Pro 2019 has also been marked by one name in particular, that of Neneh Cherry, whose risky, unpredictable and nonconformist career was recognized by the Primavera Award, and was explained in a generous, career-spanning conversation in which ​ the artist defended the mutability of the present times: “Maybe we don’t need to defend ourselves constantly. Maybe it is enough just to be there. Just to be” While on the other hand, the full house in the Auditori of the CCCB for the session ​ dedicated to analysing the rise of Latin music in the most diverse sectors of the international panorama and the differences and dialogues between the Latin American scenes vindicated the clamour that the “buena vibra” has engendered and which, ​ ​ today, seems unstoppable -this debate included speakers who had travelled to Barcelona ​ ​ thanks to the support of the Programme of Internationalization of the Spanish Culture of ​ Spanish Cultural Action (AC/E)-. The selection of musical film sequences by Stephen ​ Malkmus, in which there was room for both the classics like The Exterminating Angel by ​ ​ ​ Luis Buñuel and the groove of vintage porn, revealed the tousled and laid-back film buff profile of a true slacker rock hero. This dialogue between cinema and music that continued with the master class by Daniel Pemberton about his soundtrack for Spider Man: Into the ​ ​ ​ Spider-Verse, a overwhelming mixture of film score and urban textures that the author ​ dissected by showing exclusive unreleased material and even by occasionally playing the piano. This session by Pemberton constituted the perfect conclusion to the Day Pro Conference ​ activities, that also including the presentation of emerging projects, the congresses of ​ concert venues and of independent labels, effervescent mentoring sessions and, of course, a line up of 36 showcases coming from a dozen different countries and which ​ ​ ​ saw the debut of the rhythms and flavours of the fertile independent scene of Uruguay. ​ Primavera Pro 2019 has thus been a place at which the boundaries and conventions of the music industry were tested, while serving as a meeting point for three thousand professionals from the sector. It invited people to open the doors to the unexpected, to ​ look into each other’s eyes and ask themselves: “What if...?”. Imagining a future of possibilities that, maybe, we will start to get to know next year. 2 PRIMAVERA SOUND IN NUMBERS Primavera Sound: Public: 220.000 visits Number of concerts: 331 shows Number of artists: 295 bands Primavera Pro: Professionals: 3.000 delegates Activities (conferences, presentations, networking sessions, etc): 69 Showcases Primavera Pro: 59 3 LINE UP Primavera Sound Cupido (ES) Japanese (PA) 070 Shake (US) Cybotron live (US) Jarvis Cocker dj set (UK) 107 Faunos (AR) Dâm-Funk (US) Jarvis Cocker introducing JARV IS...
