Backstage : Detrás de la industria musical

Abstract

Behind music are numerous professions. In fact, there is a chain that is increasingly adding more people, more work and more money. That is why it is almost natural the existence of organisms that monitor the growth of the music industry. An example among many, is the Bogotá Music Market, a section of the Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá, which began in 2013 making reports of consumption and royalties in the music industry of the city, in addition to creating a cluster to ally projects. As for professions, you can start thinking about the roadie that picks up cables and rides the band on stage; or the driver who takes them and brings them after a show; follow by the people in charge of selling merchandise of the band and finish in another thousand functions. For this reason, due to the network of relationships that exist, the music industry has begun to strengthen. In countries like Colombia, the progress is progressive, but since the beginning of the two thousand, the spectrum has expanded. There, in that cosmos, you can find Mario Galeano, music producer and forger of ‘cannibal tropicalism’, or Tatiana Solano and Ana María Gómez, visual artists who make live video mixes for festivals or concerts. Also, Stiven Sierra, manager of several projects with international projection and CEO of Black Agency, or Julián Gaviria, photographer and videographer par excellence of the Alcolirykoz.
