Industry StillWaits For AGenuineEuro-Fairby Christian Lorenz

FREIBURG - The music indus-try is not yet ready for a pan-European trade fair.

That was the broad consen-sus after the second EuroPopDays fair and congress, held inFreiburg from May 9-12. "Theconference programme, theclubs and the audience exceed-ed all expectations," saysMusic Workz MD and EuroPopDays consultant Gerd Leon-hard. "But the trade fair founddisappointingly little interest."

Limiting the first two daysof the fair to professionals hada disastrous impact on atten-dance figures.

Radio France To LaunchNational Youth Stationby Emmanuel Legrand

PARIS - New Radio Francepresident Michel Boyon isplanning to launch a newnational radio station targeteddirectly at the youth market.

The moves, which alsoinclude plans to skew the out-put of Radio France's full -ser-vice flagship France Intertowards a younger demograph-ic, are designed to attract anew and younger audience tothe public broadcasting corpo-ration, whose existing radioaudiences are growing steadilyolder. It is also hoped that ayouth station will help modifythe current ratings imbalancebetween the public and privatesector.

The youth station concept

is being investigated by Olivi-er Nanteau, a respected radioprofessional who has spent allhis career at Radio France. Heis expected to deliver hisreport in July.

A youth -orientated stationwould certainly complementRadio France's existing rosterof radio stations. In addition toFrance Inter, the pubcasteralready operates the all -newsFrance Info, classical networkFrance Musique, arts/culturestation France Culture, andthe MOR/national music outletRadio Bleue. There are also 20regional stations and sevenurban stations under the pub -caster's banner. However,almost all the stations current-ly operated by Radio Franceare reaching audiences which

are over 35.There are serious ques-

tions, however, about how thenew station could be financed.Radio France relies mostly onthe licence fee for itsresources, and the start upcosts for a new national sta-tion are likely to be in theregion of Ffr50-70 million(app. US$10-12 million). Thereare also question marks overthe type of programming sucha station would offer (particu-larly given France's quotarestrictions), and what fre-quencies would be available toaccomodate it.

The idea that Radio Francecould launch a new network(particularly one geared to theyounger end of the market) is


Sister Act Strikes Gold

Danish duo Me & My, whose self -penned Dub I Dub charted in 14 Euro-pean countries and peaked at number 28 in the Eurochart Hot 100 last

..year, are also receiving plenty of metal for their achievements in their owncountry-gold for the self -titled debut album and platinum for the singlesDub I Dub and Baby Boy. Pictured with the group are EMI -Medley execu-tives (1-r): Christian Backman (promotion), Stephen Horner (businessaffairs), Thomas Hoehne (international exploitation), Jeppe "Jay -B" Bis-gaard (product manager), Marlene Mathiensen (promotion), manager JohnAagaard, Mik Christensen (marketing) and company MD Michael Ritto.

Hardy GetsDangerousPARIS - After a self-imposedretreat of eight years, FrancoiseHardy is back with Le Danger,an album with self -pennedlyrics and a fresh guitar soundprovided by Kat Onoma'sRodolphe Burger. There is obvi-ously more to Hardy than just'60s icon status: she's an artistwith a clear vision and a consid-erable amount of curiosity fortoday's sounds. Working recent-ly with Etienne Daho and Blurhas probably inspired her to gointo the studio again. "She per-sonifies the modern woman,"says Virgin head of internation-al development Frederic Jim -qua.

Chasing The Euro DreamBetweenThe Lines

by Machgiel Bakker

This years EuroPop Days witnessedenthusiastic speakers addressing stoicalaudiences.

The exhibition hall presented merelyfringe business and unexciting stands.And the music? Yes, the bands were good,at least if you're into hearing bands whichare at a very early stage of their career.

The struggle of the EuroPop Days is tosome extent due to the fact that the major-ity of business in Europe is still confinedto national borders. Some 12 years afterthe launch of this publication, and threeyears after the establishment of the EC,no one still knows what to make of the

notion of a unified marketplace.One glance around the crowded cellar where the "demo -

marathon" sessions took place was enough to see where the event'sforte lies-in attracting the lower -ranking national A&R man-agers. Not surprisingly, the best attended and most interactivepanel was the A&R session on the final day.

All of this is not much of a problem when one has just nationalambitions. But like other recent fairs (the Tam Tam in Bourges,Heineken Green Energy in Dublin) the EuroPop Days wants to bemore-a European platform for information exchange. But thisaim is incompatible with a public that only has domestic concerns.

That's a shame, because the conference programme had lots ofpotential and certainly tried hard to attract the right calibre ofspeakers. But getting people with a pan-European vision to cometo your event-and there aren't many of them-also means gettingEuropean exhibitors and European bands with at least some formof cross -regional success. If you have those, you're more likely toattract foreign visitors and a larger presence of major label execu-tives.

Having said that, though, there does not seem to be a singlemagic formula which guarantees active audience participation.Even at a major event like MIDEM-with which this magazine co -organised this year's conference programme-visitors shied awayfrom the panels, probably too busy making deals. Only PopKommhas succeeded in staging larger discussion forums with interestedlisteners. And why? Their market is the biggest in Europe, andaddresses for the most part national themes.

EuroPop Days should make up its mind where its core audiencelies. I think the event would be better off putting a sharper focuson its A&R strengths. When this is endorsed by a larger nationalaudience, the buzz is sure to spread through the rest of Europe.A full report on EuroPop Days can be found on page 7.

'Indie' Stations LaunchProtective Lobby Groupby Jonathan Heasman

LONDON - A new grouping hasbeen launched aimed at repre-senting the interests and con-cerns of the UK s indepen-dent commercial radiooperators.

The Independent RadioForum has been formed by anumber of independent sta-tions which are not part oflarge radio groups. The sta-tions involved are particular-ly concerned about the gov-ernment's plans to allowcompanies to own more thana single FM (or AM) licence inone area-moves which arebacked by the larger companieswithin the CRCA, the UK com-mercial radio sector's officialtrade body.

However, Mason is keen to

Stars CallFor CDPrice Fallby Keith Foster

STocsaoLM - A storm hasblown up in the Swedish musicindustry over figures that showa drastic fall in the sales of CDsin the first quarter of 1996.

Sales are down a full 19% onthe same period last year, andof all the theories put forwardto explain the drop, the mostcommon is price.

New CD albums retail ataround Skr179 (app. US$28).Some music journalists havecalled for prices to be cut, andnow some of the country's topmusic stars have added theirvoices to the call.

Jonas Berggren, songwrit-ing member of Ace Of Base,says the price should be halved,while dance king Dr Albanclaims US$17 to be a more rea-sonable price. They point outthat CDs are no longer soexpensive to produce.

Record companies haverejected the price argument,although they accept the seri-ousness of the poor sales fig-ures. Instead, they point to theever-increasing competitionfrom computer games andhome videos. Others cite a lackof quality in recent domesticoutput and a boom in compila-tion albums.

New RTVE Chief ToTackle Pubcaster's Debtsby Howell Llewellyn

MADRID - Spain's new conserva-tive Popular Party (PP) govern-ment has appointed economistMonica Ridruejo as directorgeneral of pubcaster RadioTelevision Espanola (RTVE),but has left the choice of newdirector of Radio Nacional deEspana (RNE) until later.

Ridruejo, 33, was born inSan Francisco, California, andhas lived in the US, the UK andSwitzerland. She is to meetwith the RTVE board of direc-tors soon to explain her plansfor Spain's public TV and radioservices.

The only indication of theseplans was revealed by the boardchairman Miguel Angel Gozalo

who said Ridruejo had told himher priority would be to tackleRTVE's economic problems.The company has a debt ofPta235 billion (app. US$1.9 bil-lion).

Prior to the March 3 elec-tions it was rumoured that thePP planned to merge RTVE'stwo TV channels into one.

Three days before Ridruejo'sappointment, outgoing RTVEdirector general Jordi GarciaCandau and RNE directorDiego Carcedo told the pressthey had no idea what the PP'splans were.

KOMM Unhappy WithMinister's Media Proposalsby Charles Ferro

COPENHAGEN - Denmark's com-mercial media sector has criti-cised proposals which form thebasis of changes to TV andradio legislation.

Culture minister JytteHilden submitted the changesearlier this month, which havebeen lashed by many in theindustry.

With regard to radio, Hildenrecommends that all stations beallowed to boost the power oftheir broadcasting towers to160 watts, from the current 30watts. Stations may also be ableto transmit to areas that con-tain more than five local gov-ernment regions, depending on

the number of residents, butthe suggestion was not detailed.

In addition, Hilden's propos-als detail that stations will beallowed to network news, actu-ality programmes and broad-casts from 23:00-06:00.

However, the commercialTV/radio association KOMMhas pointed out the negativeaspects of these proposals.

The organisation says that,under Hilden's suggestions,3000 -watt broadcasting will notbe allowed, the saturation areafor individual stations will notcover a whole county and musicnetworking will not be allowed.

In its newsletter, the associ-ation writes that the value ofallowing limited networking at

stations was questionable.While the proposals aredesigned to strengthen localradio, there will be little inter-est for networked news outsideof the broadcasting range ofthese stations.

KOMM also points out thatadded broadcasting power willhelp strengthen smaller localstations, but the questionremains how much this incen-tive will aid stations in themajor cities.

Stations in those cities oftenneed to use nine FM transmit-ters to reach listeners. KOMMcontends that it would be muchwiser to give them one or twopowerful transmitters in orderto cut costs.

Italian Locals Form`Survival Syndicate'MILAN - A new syndication ser-vice is being created in Italy tohelp the country's smaller localradio operators, many of whomare members of the ANTI asso-ciation for independent localstations, writes Mark Dezzani.

ANTI president EugenioPorta says the new syndicationservice will help the financially -troubled locals by supplyingthem with quality network pro-gramming for six hours a day.

"The Parma -based stationRadio Dodici is organising anational spread of affiliate sta-tions to be supplied withnational news and other origi-

nal talk -based programming,"says Porta.

Under existing broadcastlegislation, local stations areallowed to take up to six hoursdaily of nationally syndicatedprogramming, although severalnational syndicators are broad-casting 24 hours a day on localaffiliate stations by exploitingloopholes in the laws.

Porta adds, "The financialcrisis at many of the smallerstations has prevented themfrom investing in locally pro-duced quality programming,and we hope this will help themto attract national advertising."

M& M R E POR T NEW FLAMENCO

New Flamenco WaitsTo Break BordersWith what some people see as a "creative crisis" taking place in home-grown rockand pop, Spain is going back to its roots and re -discovering the Flamenco sound.Now the world's music industry is asking whether new flamenco is the genre thatwill put Spain back on the international music map. Suzanne Wales reports.

RANADA played hostlast February to a his-toric two-day concertfeaturing the best oforthodox and "new"flamenco. The concertwas attended by

15.000 fans on the occasion of theretirement of Juan Carmona "Habi-chuela," celebrated guitarist and headof a dynasty of five generations ofartists of the "cante jondo."

Over 50 musicians, singers anddancers waived their normal fees, andthe proceeds of the performances willgo directly to Habichuela's retirementfund. This was clearly an act of love.

The hommage ended with a perfor-mance by Juan, Antonio and JoseMiguel Carmona, otherwise known asKetama, respectively sons andnephew of the maestro. "He's taughtus everything," said Antonio of hisfather, "how to behave, how to speak,how to perform, how to live."

Old Inspires NewTogether with Raimundo Amador onthe guitar, the rendition of the classicVente Pa' Madrid was more then a fit-ting ending for the concert-two gen-erations, two distinct styles, the oldinspiring the new. But it is the newthat is finally starting to get therecognition it deserves, both in termsof sales and radio airplay.

Ketama's first live album-andaccording to most critics their best-De Aki A Ketama (Mercury) has sold300.000 copies and spent 38 weeks onthe Spanish charts since it's releaseless than a year ago. Not bad whenyou consider that the group's otheralbums were pushing to reach the40.000 mark. The late Antonio Flores,who together with his sister Rosario,formed another flamenco clan headedby their matriarch Lola (who died justbefore Antonio in May last year) hadthe biggest selling album of 1995 withCosas Mias. Shipping 600.000 units,the album managed to outsell bothGloria Estefan and Julio Iglesias. Hisrecord company RCA has justreleased Antologia, an anthology ofhis work, which went straight into theSpanish charts at number three. Fla-menco/blues pioneer RaimundoAmador's first solo album (which fea-tures a track with BB King) Gerundi-na (MCA) is still doing nicely, whileveteran flamenco/pop performer KikoVeneno's version of the Dylan classic

(BMG) was named Single Of The Yearby the national daily El Pais. Sevillanduo Caraoscura's first album Que EsLo Que Quieres De Mi (RCA), onwhich both Veneno and Amador col-laborated, has delighted critics withits exploration of the flamenco/popfusion.

"This is the first year that we canreally say that we have sold a lot ofrecords," says Mario Pacheco, founderof the Madrid -based record labelNuevos Medios. It specialises in thenew flamenco sound, and helpedlaunch the careers of both Ketamaand Patita Negra. "Up until a shorttime ago, they didn't enter the chartsbecause they weren't considered to be'pop'. Pop music was new, and wasembraced enthusiastically becausepeople thought it signified Spainentering the modern era. Flamenco,which people saw as some type ofSpanish folk music, was seen to bepart of the old regime. Younger peopleremembered flamenco as the music oftheir parents when they didn't haveany money."

Reasons For ChangeIs the turnaround because of a changein the public mood, or the sheer quali-ty of the new music, which fusesblues, jazz, reggae, rumba and LatinAmerican rhythms with flamenco?Miguel Soler from national EHR net-work Cadena Dial thinks the answeris a bit of both. "When this wholething started people were runningaround like crazy looking for anygroup or singer which fell into thenew flamenco category. Now that thewhole thing has had time to settle

down, there is less choice, but on thewhole the quality is better. The soundhas had time to develop." Cadena Dialtransmits a special programme "LosJovenes Flamencos" every Saturdaynight, and says that the new flamencosound is an "important part" of thestation's mainstream programming.The same is also true of EHR-format-ted Cadena Cien, which devotes 10%of its programming to the genre.

So could new flamenco be themovement which finally puts Spainback on the international music map?At the 30th MIDEM conference heldin Cannes in January, it was the fla-menco guitarist Vicente Amigo andSevillian group Martires del Comp&

that filled the audito-rium. What wasbilled as the high-light of the fiestalatina night, the rockgroup Heroes DelSilencio, barelyraised an eyebrow.

Antonio Ferreria,presenter of the fla-menco programme"La Copia" on pub -caster RNE's foreignservice Radio Exteri-or, believes that new

flamenco could achieve the interna-tional success that has that has elud-ed Spanish rock and pop groups for solong. "It's unique in the world," hemaintains. "But of course it dependson the necessary support from therecord companies, promotors and theindustry in general." Most sourcesagree that it won't be easy, but thenames that could finally break fla-menco internationally are Ketama,Rosario and Kiko Veneno.

Signs Of PromiseNuevos Medios' Pacheco, while admit-ting that flamenco has always had itsfaithful little niche markets in theUS, UK and Japan (where Catalanflamenco/jazz group Jaleo frequentlypack clubs), sees signs of promise inthe important Latin American mar-ket. "It is starting to get better," hereports, "especially in Argentina andColumbia and particularly in Mexico.But we are still trying to shake off the"world music" category which theytend put us into, mainly because thatis the vibe that has been given off bythe press here. It's very difficult toparticipate in world music festivals.What a group can earn from them isso much lower than what they couldearn from a gig here in Spain."

But isn't that what intially drewinternational attention to the sound,with Toumani Diabate's acclaimedcollaboration albums Songhai 1 & 11?Surprisingly, Pacheco doesn't see thistype of cross-cultural fusion as theobvious way forward. "I don't pushthem," he says. "There's a project withJose Soto (ex-Ketama) and some gyp-sies from France, but really we've gotenough talent here. We're still wait-ing for the Bob Marley -type figure toappear to take the music across theworld. But it will happen in its owntime."

M& M R E P 0 R T EUROPOP DAYS 1996

EuroPop Days '96:European Themes,National ConcernsDespite an attractive conference programme and aninteresting speaker line-up, EuroPop Days 1996struggled with an apathetic audience and a fairwhich failed to fulfil its potential. The three elementsof the event (the trade fair, the 'Making Music Work'conference and the concerts) were loosely connectedand seemed to be aimed at disparate target groups,writes Machgiel Bakker.

HE city of Freiburg-located at the pic-turesque junction ofGermany, Switzerlandand France-has

enough attractive venues to watch alarge variety of new and often unsignedbands (and there were plenty of them),but the hectic nightlife of EuroPop Dayswas in sharp contrast to the daytime,with indifferent audi-ences and panel dis-cussions being delayedthanks to panelistsoversleeping.

The overridingproblem with EuroPopDays is that it ad-dresses European themes but attracts anaudience that only has national businessinterests. Ironically, the panel drawingthe biggest audience and yielding themost passionate debate was the A&Rpanel featuring ex -Factory boss TonyWilson, which focussed largely on theUK side of things.

Fair PlayAccording to Jackie Hayden, director ofIrish Hot Press magazine, speaking dur-ing the "Music Made In Europe" panel,there is no such thing as Europeanmusic. "It's dangerous talking aboutsuch a term as if it were a homogeneoustype of music that's uniting people fromIceland to Portugal," he argued.

Pointing out the variety of culturesthat make up the European market,

Hayden drew attention to the subtitle ofthe panel, "Challenging The US Domi-nance." He adds, "The Irish populationis only 3.5 million. We should protectour culture-I don't see any need toapologise for that. What I want is fairplay. We all listen to US music-itwould be nice if they would be moreopen to us too."

However, Jaap van Beusekom, exec-utive director of theDutch government -sponsored foundationSPN, shuddered atthe mere mention ofthe word protection."If you protect, youprotect the sick and

the weak. What we need is proper legis-lation. In the US they don't give subsi-dies, they set up proper legislation forthe business to flourish."

The alleged dominance of US culturewas put into perspective by ChristophGurk, features editor of German musicmagazine Spex. "The import of the USrock 'n' roll culture was definitely a goodthing to happen to Germany," heacknowledged. "It freed the youth fromthe limitations of the post-war environ-ment and introduced new values tothem." Gurk was wary of the need toemphasise national identities. "Everytime the Germans have tried to have anational culture, nothing good has comeof it."

All speakers agreed on one thing,however-there's a resurgence of domes -

Wilson's 'AnimalsMusicians are animals. At least that'sthe opinion of Tony Wilson, the for-mer boss of influential FactoryRecords (Joy Division, Happy Mon-days, New Order) who is now a pro-ducer for Granada TV as well asbeing a consultant to UK's In TheCity convention. "Unless they areappallingly badly behaved people,"he argued, "they are not real artists.That's why I refer to A&R people asfarmers."

A&R people are also "morons" sug-gested Wilson in a more forgivingtone. "Most of them don't have ears,just good noses." Steve Redmond, edi-

Must Be Farmedtor -in -chief of Music Week and MBI,felt that many A&R people are justpart of a corporate structure who are"chasing a career or a pension." Buthe related the fact that Alan McGhee[founder of Creation Records] hadmortgaged his home to finance Oasis."No one was initially interested. Buthe had vision and commitment."

One delegate asked Wilson whathe thought had made Oasis the bandthey are today. "They bring twothings together," he replied, "the giftfor melodies and tunes and a charis-matic lead singer who is your greatpost -James Dean symbolic hero."

Is Radio's Future Cabled Up?During a radio seminar entitled"Cable Killed The Radio Star," therewas considerable discussion about theconcept offered by Music ChoiceEurope (MCE), that broadcast 60 DJ -free satellite radio channels. StefanHeller, MCE's London -based directorof programming, described his compa-ny's services as "lifestyle program-ming."

Heller claimed that MCE and sim-ilar services will help the labels sellmore records. "Each track played onone of the channels lists artist, titleand record number. When I startedthe aim was to boost music salesthrough retail channels. But, just likenormal radio, we do pay attention tospecialist blocks of programming andwe do think about things like tempoand atmosphere."

For Volkmar Kramartz, a formerGerman radio producer who nowoperates his own music consultancyfirm, the notion of radio without DJsis a frightening prospect. "The pre-senter who offers his own choice ofmusic and his accompanying enthusi-

asm is what makes people discovernew music," he noted, adding thatcompetition with radio was increas-ingly coming from the specialist printmedia.

Pat Dunne, producer at Irish RTERadio One, agreed that personalityradio would not be going away."There will always be a place for per-sonality -driven radio-as a compan-ion and a place to air your views."

tic music scenes which highlight nation-al values but limit crossover appeal.What is needed is not protectionism butincreased communication and betteropportunities for bands to play abroad.

Cultural Barbarism"Stick to what you're good at," was themessage from PIAS Benelux MD Wallyvan Middendorp, speaking during the"Making Money Making Music" panel."Support other cultures but do not try toforce yourself on others-that's culturalbarbarism."

Having an international outlook isessential for the Irish music industryargued Johnny Lappin, director of Irishcollection society IMRO. "We cannotmake a living in Ireland alone-themarket's just too small for that. Soexport has become the industry's forte."

In the session entitled "ReversingThe Tide," panelists agreed that there isno uniform European music market,and that the industry as a whole wouldprofit from an infrastructure that facili-tates the exchange of know-how and tal-

M & M R A D I 0 MAKING WAVES

Radio's White Water, ChangeThe myriad changes facing commercial radio todaymean that managers and staff are often confrontedwith situations for which they are unprepared-takeovers, switch -ovens to automisation,digitalisation, format changes-Tony Grundyexplores the consequences.

_MANAGEMENT

Change management has become highlytopical because many radio companiesare either being taken over, buyinganother group, or worrying about theconsequences should either of these twomajor upheavals affect their group. Theonly thing you can predict with real cer-tainty is that things will go on chang-ing-probably at an increased pace.Radio, in business terms, is in perma-nent white water-people looking forcalm seas ahead are in the wrong busi-ness. This article focusses on some of theproblems/opportunities created by therate of change within the radio industry,some of the errors being made, and sometips on how to avoid them.

Predator Or PreyOwnership of radio groups right acrossEurope and the US is being narroweddown to the powerful few. In the UK themajority of stations are now controlledby either Capital Radio, EMAP, GWR orScottish Radio Holding. Previously,medium-sized groups felt some securityby virtue of the rules (ownership of morethan one FM station in the same mar-ketplace was not allowed)-now it'seither "buy out or be bought out."

Some of the groups doing the buyingare not necessarily skilled in managingthe change they create. Just becausethey are bigger doesn't mean they will do

it correctly. The changes may be forcedthrough, but what will be the ultimatecost of not managing the people involvedcorrectly? The groups that train theirmanagers before any such takeover,carefully structure the early days, coun-sel those who are to depart, and keepeverybody fully informed will be the onesthat will profit the most from the currentopportunities being created in radio inEurope and elsewhere in the world.

Emotional ReactionsMore than half the battle in dealing withemotions created by change is to know inadvance, through training, what toexpect and that to a lesser or greaterextent everybody will go through thesame emotions. The assumption some-times made is that the person initiatingthe change (for example the MD) will notalso suffer those emotions-from bitterpersonal experience I can tell you that isan incorrect assumption.

In change management programmes,these emotions are equated to the losstransition curve that bereavement coun-sellors take families through. In somecases the stages can be passed throughvery quickly, in others it may takemonths or even years before the finalstage of positive thinking is reached.Stage 1- Shock and trauma. Occur im-mediately after the change takes place,even when the event is anticipated.Stage 2 - Disbelief. Inability to believe it

has actually taken place or the mannerin which it has happened.Stage 3 - Anger. Evoked when some ofthe consequences of change are realised.Stage 4 - Resentment. Why me? Whyshould I suffer after building up a goodbusiness?Stage 5 - Despondency/Depression. Canbe a real dip in executives' energy level.Stage 6 - Acceptance. Eventually the sit-uation is accepted.Stage 7 - Positive Thinking This stageis the most difficult to achieve.

The "buyer" group needs to recognisethe importance of this curve, while those"being bought out" need to be aware ofthis transition in advance. Change is notlimited to takeovers-it can, as dis-cussed earlier, involve new workingpractices, new technology, or more gen-eral reorganisation Takeovers merelyhighlight and amplify the emotionsinvolved in the change.

To manage change it is necessary to: involve individuals in the planning provide accurate and complete infor-mation; give individuals a chance to airtheir objections always take a group'snorms and habits into account (bewareof breaking up work groups, disruptingschedules or violating the norm of thegroup) make only essential changes develop a trusting environment.

To reinforce the change, it is neces-sary to: constantly identify benefits UseForce -Field analysis (to examine forcesfavouring and forces opposing change) invite questions and answer them explain why educate and train setstandards avoid surprises reinforcestaff sense of security model flexibility keep communication two way admitdifficulty seek input inform- andinvolve informal leaders.

Managing change is not confined totakeovers and mergers, but is seen daily

M & M MUSIC ARTISTS IN PROGRESS

Hardy Electrifies With Dangerous Liaisonsby Thessa Mooij

PARIS - Call Francoise Hardy a"chanteuse" and you're in big troublewith her. She was on the right side ofthe '60s, performing for tout swingingLondon in 1965, recording SergeGainsbourg and Leonard Cohen songs,and working with Jacques Dutronc.Part of her charm might have been thePaco Rabanne outfits and girlishappeal, but she set up her own label asearly as 1967 and she always madesure to work with the cutting edgeartists of her time. So her first studioalbum in eight years Le Danger(Virgin), a pan-European release, is notso much a comeback as another projectfrom a 52 -year -old woman who knowswhat she wants.

Hardy is the centre of considerablemedia attention, following collabora-tions with Etienne Daho and Blur, withwhom she recorded the single To TheEnd last year. She wrote the lyrics onLe Danger, whose production was doneby the young and upcoming MainLubrano and Kat Onoma's RodolpheBurger. Promo trips to the UK, Spain,Belgium, Germany and Switzerland inMay and June should keep that vibealive. But there's always the album, acollection of melancholic accounts oflife's darker side. The tristesse isaugmented by Burger's electric guitarpatterns, which are more poetic in the

style of Daniel Lanois, rather thanstraightforward rock'n'roll. At presstime, the first single Mode D'Emploiwas the highest new entry in the

Border Breakers chart at number 22.According to Virgin head of

international development FredericJunqua the single, "soundscontemporary and timeless at the sametime. You can tell her taste in music isgeared towards young acts like

Garbage, Blur and Portishead, but shehas avoided sounding hip, using thelatest drum 'n bass sound. Basically LeDanger is a strong rock album with a

couple of ballads,which mightattract a youngeraudience. It'll be achallenge torestore her statusin Europe. It's norehash of her oldcareer-shepersonifies themodern woman."

Le Dangerhasn't stoppedMadrid -basedCadena Cien MDRafael Revertfrom getting alittle nostalgic overHardy's recentvisit to Spain,although ModeD'Emploi iscurrently atnumber 38 in thenetwork's Top 100

chart. "I play it because I love her, butgenerally artists who are not fromSpain, the US or the UK have a hardtime on Spanish radio. She was one ofthe very first rock stars. I was one ofthe first members of her fan club,which consisted of five people at the

time." Virgin Spain's internationalproduct manager Kike Gallegoconfirms Hardy's special radio status."Programmers are making exceptionsfor her. Big stations and networkswould not automatically play youngerguitar groups who have a similarsound. [EHR-oriented pubcaster] RNE3is even playing album tracks."

Lausanne -based RSR-Couleur 3

head of music Thierry Catherinespotted Hardy at a recent SmashingPumpkins show in Paris. "She reallylistens to new music-she's also a bigDefinition Of Sound fan. We will playMode D'Emploi in medium -highrotation for a couple of weeks. I thinkwe have to be curious about good songs,whether they're jungle, R&R ortechno."

Virgin Germany product managerHannes Metz has just mailed 200promo copies of the single to radio. "Wehave to see who will pick her up. Itcould be a younger audience as well. Itdoesn't make sense to define too small amarket. Besides the radio promotion,we are aiming at features in highprofile magazines like Elle andCosmopolitan, which involve severalpages and photo shoots." FrancoiseHardy is clearly seen as a cultural icon,a stylish phenomenon, but one who hasdelivered an exciting, original albumeight years into her self-proclaimedexile.

Mixed Tribe Mau Mau Takes High RoadTURIN - Since its 1992 debut albumSauta Rabel Italian group Mau Mauhas carved out a niche for itself in thealternative folk scene, along with otherMediterranean multi -instrumental actssuch as Les Negresses Vertes, ManoNegra and Radio Tarifa. But some ofthe tracks on the latest album VivaMammanera (Voxpop/EMI) coulddefinitely help spread that sunnysummer feeling in the rest of Europe,writes Thessa Mooij.

Especially the current single La Ola(The Wave) taps into that most ardentpan-European passion-football. Itspowerful Brazilian drums and cheerfultrumpets are slightly reminiscent ofJovanotti's L'Ombelico Del Mondo, butMau Mau manages to sound like acircus orchestra with some moderatelyderanged and exotic members. On thenew album, the group has moved awayfrom its self-proclaimed image of"acoustic tribe" in favour of a diverse,amplified sound. Languoroussensuality can be found in CortoMaltese next to the voodoo -drenchedpercussion of Mammanera (patiencewill be rewarded with a bit of magic atthe end of the track).

Bergamo -based RTL 102.5 head ofmusic Grant Benson is enthusiasticabout La Ola. "You can easily play LaOla next to Bryan Adams. You canenjoy it on different levels; if you listenclosely you will find more substance aswell. Viva Mammanera containsprobably the most radio -friendly musicthey ever produced, without

compromising. They remained faithfulto their roots, but this new materialwill open up a whole new audience forthem. It could be their watershedalbum."

The album has been released inSwitzerland, Germany, Spain, Belgiumand Holland. Francewill follow inSeptember. Mau Mauis currently touringits home country, butlate May and midJune will see thegroup in Spain andHolland respectively.According to EMIlocal repertoireexploitation StefaniaManetti, "they havedone pretty well inFrance, Holland,Belgium andSwitzerland, but lessso in Spain. So thisyear we're reallypushing the album inSpain. We hope todevelop the bandbeyond their previousalbum Bass Paradiswith the help of the EMI offices abroadand the single La Ola." For themarketing strategy of VivaMammanera, EMI Italy has changedtack. As Manetti comments, "Mau Maustarted their career as an indie band,which means we went through thespecialised media channels. But this

album enables them to target not onlytheir initial 'niche, but to widen theirmedia exposure. La Ola is a catchysong, which means the normal channels.like the networks, who are mostimportant, might be interested."

In Spain much marketing relies on

generating press for the upcoming tour.International label manager ElenaMartin is working closely with theSpanish promotor [Nox] of the tour. "Aspromoters of ethnic music, they arevery keen on Mau Mau, with whomthey haven't worked before. They havebooked four shows and a festival in the

Pyrenees. You could see Mau Maualong the same lines as [Argentineband] Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, who didvery well in Spain." Martin says aSpanish version of La Ola will be testedwith the media, which might end up ona promo single and as a special albumtrack. "It would make it easier for theSpanish radio listeners to get involved.At least the 20-30 audience beyond thealternative fans. The Italian versionhas already been played by alternativeradio stations and Cadena 100, buthopefully the promotion around thetour-interviews with Cadena 100,Radio Tres, Radio Son Barcelona andmaybe 40 Principales-will step upradio attention."

Dutch product manager Rick denOuter is also focusing his marketingcampaign around the upcoming tour."Hopefully The Music Factory andVeronica's "Trexx" programme will startplaying the video for La Ola-Also theiralbum is full of great tracks toaccompany the sport programmes onthe radio, like the Tour de France.We're expecting a lot of airplay on[ACE -oriented pubcaster] Radio 2, butit might be less suitable for [EHR]Radio 3. We're aiming at the over -30market. This is not a teeny act.Basically, we have to continue themedia goodwill which their previousalbums and tours have generated, butwe have plenty of time to do that,because Viva Mammanera has a lot ofpotential material to build on."

Give Me A Little More Time- Go Beat/PolyGram ehr/ace/d

PRODUCERS: The Boilerhouse BoysGabrielle has once again proved to beone of the most fascinating soul singersaround. Not only is the sheer sound ofher voice sharp, edgy, but her uniquephrasing-always just a little too earlyor too late-and the slow beat makethis a song to remember. This charac-terful brand of soul makes you long forthe upcoming album.

RABIH ABOU-KHALILArabian Waltz- EnjaPRODUCER: not listedFor some reason this single is a radioedit. But only specialised programmerswho couldn't care less about special editsare likely to play this sweeping waltzwith its Arab structure. The BalanescuString Quartet is responsible for much ofthe sweeping, while Abou-Khalil playsthe oud lute. Very academic.

w

ADRIAN & ALFAREZLift Me Higher- Main Room/Blueprint/Dureco ehr/dPRODUCERS: Adrian & AlfarezVery infectious dance with a forcefulsense of urgency. These Dutch guys kickoff with a fast, full-blown dance beat andpowerful, soulful vocals. They don't take"no" for an answer and drag you straightthrough their energetic track.

THE ALOOFWish You Were Here - East West ehr/dPRODUCERS: The AloofImagine Lenny Kravitz going trip hopand you have the Aloof, an original UKact that prefers to do its own thing.Which is soulful dark vocals, R&B in theSam Cooke sense of the word, slow beatsand a psychedelic guitar. Perfect forenjoying the afterglow of a hot summer'sday.

CHINATime! Remixes - Source/Virgin ehr/dPRODUCER: Bob PowerFrench R&B with a very high charmlevel. A funky '70s wah wah guitar, a fatbassline and China's French lyrics makethis one soulful track.

GARBAGEOnly Happy When It Rains - Mushroom r/a/ehrPRODUCERS: GarbageAn up -tempo track with plenty of radio -friendly energy, provided by the rhythmsection. The faster beat makes it seemless depressed than the slower, morecomplicated Queer and Stupid Girl. Still,

these people are no happy campers, butthat comes with the territory.

VINCE GILLHigh Lonesome Sound - MCA c/rPRODUCER: Tony BrownIf this new single from Gill is an indica-tion of his upcoming album High Lone-some Sound he is returning to pure coun-try roots. He still has that soulful R&Bvoice, but he uses it on top of his hothonky tonk licks. The steel guitar, banjoand fiddle also mark his return to thesource.

LUNIZPlaya Hata - Noo Trybe/Virgin ehr/dPRODUCERS: E -A -Ski, CMTSmooth easy -groove from the west coast.They don't come mellower than this. Partrap, part hip hop and a big dose of R&B isthe name of the game. Needless to saythis makes for a great relaxed spin anytime of the day.

MOLOKOFun For Me - Echo/MCA d/ehr/aPRODUCERS: variousBefore hitting the major European festi-vals, Moloko has recorded an enticing col-lection of remixes. Especially the Dr.Rockit remix offers some original grooves,while DJ Plankton's Pondlife mix evenmanages to take Moloko's zany sense ofhumour further.

MOVETRONRomeo & Juliet - Polydor ehr/dPRODUCER: MitroThis Finnish dance act goes internationalwith an English version of their number 1hit. Dr. Alban remixer Mitro added hisMidas touch to the Major Mod Mix RadioEdit, which is up -tempo, perky anddelightfully uncomplicated. The femalevocals complete this warm summer hitfrom the north.

SONIC DREAM COLLECTIVEI Wonder Why- Remixed/Flying Duck/Sony ehr

PRODUCER: Anders WagbergThe trio has already proved itself quitecapable of climbing the charts; this oneshould have no trouble either. The USradio version is a little too bland, butEHR will love the mid -tempo reggae popmix and its happy melodies.

SONIC YOUTHLittle Trouble Girl - Geffen a/r/ehrPRODUCERS: Sonic Youth, John SiketThe New York godfathers of cool grungehas cooked up a slow, quiet lullaby. OnlyKim Gordon and guest Kim Deal quicklyderail in a remake of '60s garage girlgroup schlock. Lots of teenage hormonesand maternal love gone bad. It's delight-ful in its tongue-in-cheek drama.

UNDERWORLDPearl's Girl - Junior Boy's Own/BMG d

PRODUCER: UnderworldLike Orbital, these guys flourish in theforefront of the techno scene. Theyapproach the punk energy of the Prodigyon the short mix with its fast breakbeats,but the juicy B-sides are wonderfullyfloaty ambient, laced with wind chimes,sound loops and echoes (Oich Oich). Ver-satile techno indeed.

AlbumsABDELLINew Moon - Real World/VirginPRODUCER: Thierry Van RoyAbdelli is a remarkable singer, whosevision goes way beyond the popularlocal rat and classic Arab songs. His isthe melancholic chant of a wonderingKabyl minstrel. Van Roy's arrange-ments are wonderfully refined, but withonly one purpose: to serve Abdelli's vel-vet vocals. He even uses a Peruviancharanga and the Ukrainian bandourawithout sounding forced. A world classalbum.

DARYLL-ANNDaryll-Ann Weeps - Excelsior/MCA a/r/ehrPRODUCERS: Frans Hagenaars, Daryll-AnnHagenaar's brand new Excelsior labelstands for exciting Dutch rock. Darryl -Ann has honed its poppy charm to per-fection for this stunning album, whoseinfluences range from Pet Sounds (MeanLove) to a slowed down Dick Dale (firstsingle Tremble Forte). Its particularbrand of pop owes much to the Kinks,but without the contrived cleverness.Melancholy reigns supreme in Daryll-Ann land.

MAROUSSEL'Heure H - Label Decouvertes/EMI r/ehr/aPRODUCER: Cyril NortonCreated by Marina, sister of formerMano Negra drummer Santi, who alsoplays in the band. Needless to say, plen-ty of elements are reminiscent of ManoNegra-the energy, the mix of musicalstyles (rock, ska, reggae, R&B, guin-guette, salsa), the idea that music is alsoabout having fun. Best tracks: L'HeureH, Ca Me Prend La Tete, Les Vestes andMetro-polis.

POSITIVE BLACK SOULSalaam - Mango/Island d/wPRODUCERS: variousThese two Senegalese hip hoppers aremixing English, French and native ele-ments into a groovy album, which placethem in the international avant -guard ofthe genre. UK soul masters Raw Stylushas produced five tracks, some of which(Respect The Nubians, Djoko) haveAfrican elements (intros, loops, melo-dies) -they even borrow a sequencefrom their compatriots Toure Kunda-but in general Positive Black Soul stickto their hip hop.

SLEEPERThe It Girl - Indolent r/a/ehrPRODUCER: Stephen StreetHere's a group who won't fit into the"flavour of the week" frenzy of the UKrock press. The intelligent, sensitivecompositions of Louise Wener and AndyMaClure are a unique blend of poppymelodies and rock'n'roll intensity. Aswith Lush, the female touch is veryrefreshing. The up -tempo Dress LikeYour Mother has traces of rebelliouspunk, uncomplicated guitars andhumourous lyrics. The more sophisticat-ed Statuesque with its mid -tempo dramais also a great radio track.

TOTAL TOUCHTotal Touch - Ariola ehr/dPRODUCER: T. OosterhuisThe first single from this Dutch poppyR&B duo is Touch Me There with its fastdance beat and soulful vocals, seducingits way around the breaks and bridges.Although obviously inspired by US R&B,siblings Tjeerd and Trijntje (former back-ground singer for Candy Dulfer) Ooster-huis have opted for a more up -tempofunky approach. Dulfer even guest starsin the slow burning So Curious.

PAOLO VALLESINon Essere Mai Grande - East West ace/ehrPRODUCER: Dado ParisiniDon't let Vallesi's youthful image fool you.He's worried about turning 30 (Grande)and he's one of Italy's prime balladeers.The perky mid -tempo Tutto Va Benemight feature rock guitars, but it's stillthe melodies and Vallesi's bright voicewhich dominate. Troppo Amore is anoth-er great summer track with its happyshuffle, funky guitar and reggae -relatedkeyboards.

VARIOUSCommon Ground- EMI Premier r/w/aPRODUCER: Donal LunnyArtists of Irish ancestry got together forthis unique project, which celebrates theiremerald roots. Bono, the Finn brothersand Kate Bush come together in a mix ofexisting tracks (U2's Tomorrow), stan-dards (On Raglan Road by Sinead O'Con-nor) and special compositions. Lunny'sCavan Potholes is a delightfully bouncy,almost jazzy, song, while the Finn broth-ers wrote a song about their mother'sDublin roots.

Live At Montreux - East West w/ehrPRODUCERS: J. Jorge, E. CardosoFrom Simply Red to Jovanotti, theBrazilian olodum drums have con-quered territory. This 23 -man bandwas featured in Michael Jackson'sThey Don't Care About Us, but the livealbum shows it thrives even withoutthe Jackson connection. Born out of thewest -African traditions of NorthernBrazil, this is no -bullshit rebel music.The arrangements and melodiesaround the drums may sound likeNigerian pop sometimes-makingthem excellent EHR candidates-buttracks like Protesto Do Olodum andRevolta Olodum are impressive demon-strations of the Bahians' fierce pride intheir culture and ancestors.

Ethnic Music Hip 'N' HotMulticulturalism has become almost a byword for'90s hip, be it in music, art, or even advertising.From rock to jazz, classical to pop, MichaelJackson to Eddie Vedder, ethnic music is becominga major expressive element of western culture.Sampled melodies from Indonesia to Africa becomethe inspiration for everything from the wildestdance beats to the most eclectic ambient sound-scapes. World music can no longer be ignored.Terry Berne presents a selection of recent worldmusic releases that have had a notable impact invarious European territories.

BAKA BEYOND The Meeting Pool (Han-nibal/Rykodisc)A lush, complex and richly rewardingalbum inspired by the music of the Bakapygmies. A variety of instruments andstyles weave together with the beautifulmelodies and haunting Baka rhythmsgathered by guitarist Martin Cradickon two trips to Cameroon. Hannibalfounder and GM Joe Boyd says, "Suc-cess with this CD in the US has beenlargely through alternative retail outletssuch as bookstores, new age storeswhere in-store play has proved decisive.Airplay on NPR [national public radio],for example, can mean real impact atthe sales level. In Europe, despite theWorld Music Europe Chart, sporadic air-play is of limited help. Also, retail inEurope is more cautious, as there is nosystem of unlimited returns as in theUS. On the other hand, world musicgroups tour Europe more, there aremore festivals, audiences are moreaccustomed to different languages andprint media is more receptive."Also released: Cuban dance instrumen-tal Cubanismo.

ALI FARKA TOURE Radio Mali (WorldCircuit)The bluesy Mali guitarist is one of worldmusic's biggest and most immediatelyaccessible stars. Talking Timbuktu(1994) with Ry Cooder won the Gram-my for Best World Music Album. RadioMali is an assortment of vintage record-ings from the '70s. Marketing directorJenny Adlington considers, "Perhapsthe best way to increase the market is toexploit smaller, alternative distributors.It's good to have an all-round approachto promotion such as concurrent TVappearances and print media adverts. Abig problem is the high cost of advertis-

ing. Labels could take fuller advantageof the World Music Charts by stickeringcharting CDs. Germany, France andHolland are good markets for us-cer-tainly not the UK."Upcoming releases: The exquisite andhighly acclaimed flamenco/NorthAfrican fusion Rumba Argelina by Span-ish group Radio Tarifa. Also Malisinger Oumou Sangare's latest album.

NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN NightMusic (Real World)On the heels of his unusual alliancewith Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder on theDead Man Walking soundtrack, theqawwali master returns for his secondcollaboration with producer MichaelBrook on an ambient -rich fusion of eastand west. Marketing manager GuyHayden comments, "We'd love to thinkprogrammers will be brave enough toplay it, and we've just finished a radiomix of Crest. It's useful for artists tomake different kinds of records, some-thing they can enjoy doing, and obvious-ly the hope is they will sell more. Wehave to accept that there's a limitedlevel of interest in more traditionalrecordings, which means they aren'talways financially viable, especially ifwe start spending too much on market-ing and promotion. Hybrid albums don'tnecessarily see more [interest], thoughthey may sell to a different audience.The market is much more fragmentednow and retailers are used to dealingwith a range of different kinds of music."Upcoming releases: Afrocelts, a uniquefusion of dance grooves with African andceltic sounds.

Interna-tional promotion man-ager Annick Geislersays, "Projects like thisand Deep Forest [whosealbum Boherne won thisyear's Grammy for BestWorld Music Album] are long-term pro-jects and don't follow a clear routine likewith pop records. You have to look fornew promotional elements each time.Spain did a terrific job with Songs,including radio and TV spots and pressconferences, culminating in two sold -outconcerts in Barcelona and Madrid."Also released: Lapis Lazuli, Syriansinger Abed Azrie's stunning musicalrecasting of classical and contemporaryArabic poetry.

ASKIA MODIBO Wass Reggae (Stern'sAfrica)This rootsy, politically committed albumwas produced by the renowned IbrahimaSylla, an alumnus of Alpha Blondy'sband. Director Robert Urbanusobserves, "African reggae has to competewith the wealth of reggae available fromthe UK and Jamaica, which is difficult.Our task is to makeAfrican music availableto western audiences,as opposed to makingthe music more palat-able or trying deliber-ately to create a prod-uct to cross over,though if that happensso much the better. Analbum which makes acertain impact is goodfor the profile of thelabel. We work a lotwith Senegalese pro-ducer Sylla in Paris. He markets thealbums in Africa and we market them inEurope and America."Also released: Uptempo miscellanyAfrican Moves 3, and Vol. 5 of Earth-work's Indestructible Beat of Soweto.

VARIOUS Afropea 3; Telling Stories ToThe Sea (Luaka Bop)Sensuous and lyrical compilation ofAfro -Portuguese music from CapeVerde, Lisbon, Angola and Sao Tome,featuring Cesaria Evora, Dany Silva,Paulino Vieira and others from DavidByrne's adventurous label. Real Timemarketing director Simon Edwardssays, "A critical issue with world musicis to develop label profile, to build trustand confidence in consumers. Advertis-ing can help to perpetuate label identity,but for particular release, without radioairplay, tour support or press coverageit's not very worthwhile. Sampler compi-lations like the Rough Guides or WorldMusic Network are quite useful, anddirect mail is very important in order tocommunicate directly with individualconsumers. There is a lot of collabora-tion among world music labels, which isquite remarkable."Also released: A multi -ethnic portrait ofBrooklyn on the soundtrack to Blue InThe Face. Upcoming: the unusual KingChango, a Venezuelan mixture of Latin/ska/punk.

SALIF KEITA Folon,ANGELIQUE KIDJOFifa (Mango)Two top Africanartists return withstrong releases.Sparse clean arrange-ments characteriseKeita's Wally Bada-rou-produced CD, hisstrongest in years.Kidjo overlays hornsand heavy westernrhythm patterns ontop of samples from

her native Benin to achieve a muchmore pop -oriented style. A&R directorJumbo Vanrenen declares, "We'relooking to break these acts across theboard; we're not niche marketing any ofthem. I don't think there's a clear-cutworld music audience. It comes frommany different directions, and eachartist appeals to a distinct area, be itpop, jazz, dance, etc. Angelique broke inEurope mainly due to radio, whereastouring remains Salifs foundation. Andthe new French quotas will help also,though not in the case of all Africanacts, as they don't all sing in French.There's a Junior Vasquez remix ofAngelique's new single Wombo Lombo;and videos for hers and for Salifs Africasingle."Also released: Salaam, a diverse andconfident set from Senegalese rap/souloutfit Positive Black Soul.

T MITH VARIOUS It's A TripleEarth (Triple Earth)A snapshot of thelabel's first 10 years,with remixes of eachother's tunes byNajma Akhtar, AsterAweke, Ray Carless,Mouth Music andothers. Co -directorlain Scott declares,"The musical resourcesof the globe are incred-ibly vast, and the

cross-fertilisation of styles and culturescontinues to expand despite industryindifference. Radio makes a big differ-ence. You have a contract between artistand listener, and once the music breaksout of the ghetto the potential thatexists becomes clear. But it's a hardroad for artists who want to maintaintheir identity and at the same timereach out to a wider audience. Fewartists are able to subvert the system.Audiences are far more open to fusionsthan is generally admitted. Dance musichas been especially consistent in appro-priating non-western sources."Upcoming releases: Fuji fusion fromNigeria and some vocal accapella experi-ments from Cameroon.

Spain Pursues Yesterday'sWhile Spain's record sales are striking a minorchord, and new talent doesn't have quite the powerto break into the charts, Spanish listeners arelooking fondly back on their favourites of yester-year. Howell Llewellyn picks up his feathered quilland muses on the phenomenon.

HERE are those whowill deny that the cur-rent Spanish musicscene is riddled withnostalgia. Or they point

to the success of Beatles' and other"anthologies" around the globe toillustrate that nostalgia is every-where. And they add that the lackof new Spanish pop/rock is due tothe economic recession and a "cre-ative crisis." But some kinds of nos-talgia have deep roots and lie with-in a common cultural heritage.

Whatever the case, the inescap-able fact is that homegrown Span-ish commercial input into the salescharts has a look about it thatreflects anything but the '90s. NoBritPop-style wave of fresh talentin the charts here, although abristling yet confused alternativeor independent scene does exist.

Nova Canto Revival"This is not an exercise in nostal-gia," insisted BMG Ariola interna-tional label manager Laly Garciaat a recent 16.000 -capacity concertin the Catalan capital Barcelona topresent a double -CD by Spain's topsinger -songwriter Joan ManuelSerrat. It contains songs from the1962-'75 anti -General Franco"nova canto" (new song) protestmovement. "This is a personal andmusical journey by Serrat througha historical musical movement,"she added.

A week later, the album BandaSonora D'Un Temps, D'Un Pais(Soundtrack Of A Time, Of A Coun-try) became the first album sungentirely in Catalan ever to top the

"Nothing that happenedin popular music in therest of the [Spanish]state can be understoodoutside the context ofnova canto. Many[non -Catalan] artistswho later triumphedmay not have done sohad it not been for thismovement."Jordi Garcia Soler

Spanish charts. By early May ithad sold in excess of 50.000 units-not bad in a country of 89 million,of which some five million speakCatalan.

The phenomenon has occurredin the midst of the worst crisis fac-ing Spain's music industry sincethe '80s. Last year, according toIFPI-affiliate AFYVE, CD sales fellfor the first time, and the entiremarket slumped. There is still nosign of an upturn.

Nova calico started out as a cul-tural resistance to Franco's ban onCatalan spoken in public, butbecame a broad -based anti -fascistmovement centred in Barcelona'sCatalonia region. As Jordi GarciaSoler said after his book "Passion-ate Chronicle Of The Nova Calico"was published, "Nothing that hap-pened in popular music in the restof the [Spanish] state can beunderstood outside the context ofnova calico. Many [non -Catalan]artists who later triumphed maynot have done so had it not been forthis movement." He named LuisEduardo Aute, Jose Antonio Labor-deta, Carlos Cano, Joaquin Sabina,Ana Belen and Victor Manuelamong others.

Asked at another moment whowas likely to shine in Spanishmusic this year, BMG Ariola's Gar-cia said unequivocally, "This is theyear of Serrat." Not an unreason-able view, considering that theCatalan artist has two otheralbums in the charts.

By early May a Serrat "greatesthits" in Spanish called 24 PciginasInolvidables (24 UnforgettablePages) had been in the charts for43 weeks, selling some 130.000units. And a tribute by severalSpanish artists singing versions ofSerrat songs called Serrat...EresUnico (Serrat...You're Unique) wasenjoying its 30th week in the com-pilation charts, also moving some130.000 units.

The Flores DynastyA more immediate bow to the pastwas the tenth straight week in thetop 5 for Antologia by AntonioFlores, who died exactly one yearago (in May) of an accidental drinkand drugs overdose just two weeksafter his mother and family show-biz matriarch Lola died.

At the time of his death his pre-vious album Cosas Mias (Things OfMine) was dropping out of the

charts. Immediately thereafter itshot up from number 43 to number1, and according to RCA has nowsold 550.000 copies.

The Flores family dynasty con-tinues through sisters Rosario andLolita. Rosario, Spain's flamenco -pop queen and the decade's top -sell -

Antonio Flores (RCA)

Rosario (Epic)

Miguel Bose (WEA)

ing female artist, releases her long-awaited third album in October. Itwill be a hit if only for the nostal-gia -powered Flores name.

Elder sister Lolita, now 37, hasalways stood in the shadow of Anto-nio and Rosario, even though shereleased her first album 20 yearsago. A recent comeback albumQuien Lo Va A Detener (Who IsGoing To Stop It), accompanied bya new look and musical style failedto attract consumer interest, butshe plans further ventures.

Both Lolita's album and Anto-nio's Antologia feature contribu-tions from family friend AntonioCarmona, singer of "new flamen-co" band Ketama. No reference tothe Spanish music scene can fail toinclude some form of flamenco, as isdefinitively proven by Ketama.

From Gypsy RootsAfter struggling for 15 years tomake a commercial impact, thegroup has finally brought out itsninth (and first live) album forMercury De Aki A Ketama (FromHere To Ketama), which by earlyMay had been in the top 10 for 46weeks with sales approaching300.000.

Ketama is made up of brothersAntonio, Juan and cousinJosemi, all part of the extendedgypsy family that includes singerAntonio Carbonell. The 26 -year -old Carbonell is Spain's candidatein the Eurovision Song Contest(May 18) with Ay, Que Deseo! (Hey,What Desire!), a salsa -flamenco -pop mix written by Ketama.

If this is one aspect of the consol-idation of new flamenco, whichstarted in the late '70s as younggypsies began to mix pure flamencowith other forms of music, anotheraspect is the release of a kind of"greatest hits" album also calledAntologia by one of the world'sbest-known flamenco guitarists,Paco de Lucia.

King Of FlamencoDe Lucia is celebrating his 30thyear as a recording artist with theworldwide release of the double -CD Antologia (PolyGram) with nofewer than four tours that takehim to some 30 countries. By earlyMay the album had been in theSpanish charts for 12 weeks withsales in excess of 50.000, and itwas reportedly selling well acrossEurope, Latin America and Asia.

The second European tour takesDe Lucia and fellow guitaristsJohn McLaughlin and Al DiMeola through 18 cities betweenJune 24 and July 12. The Paco DeLucia Guitar Trio will release itsown album in October after play-ing across Europe. "This is thefirst greatest hits compilation bythe undisputed king of flamenco

Tunesguitar," says PolyGram interna-tional project director SimoneBose.

Another startling example ofSpanish record -buying nostalgia isthe story of Nino Bravo. Thesinger died 23 years ago in a carcrash after recording five albumsin a three-year career, and wouldhave been 50 last year when Poly -Gram had the shrewd idea ofreleasing a greatest hits doubleCD called 50 Aniversario.

As a result, after 30 weeks inthe charts Nino Bravo's posthu-mous offering has sold nearly600.000 units, becoming thebiggest -selling album in the 30 -year history of PolyGram Spain.

Perennial singer/actor MiguelBose sold some 100.000 units ofhis album Laberinto (Labyrinth) inSpain and 60.000 in Mexico, hisbiggest Latin American market. InJuly he starts lengthy tours ofSpain, the rest of Europe andLatin America that are not sched-uled to end until April 1997.

Medieval SongsPerhaps the ultimate in nostalgiacame in late March when Sony

Classical Spain's imprint Hispani-ca released the first four of 20 CDsof cantigas, or medieval songs, ofthe 427 that survive in writtenform. Much of the music wasordered, and some say written, bySpain's King Alfonso X The Wise

(1221-1284) in an effort to expresspoetically his devotion to the Vir-gin Mary. As Sony Classical direc-tor Rafael Perez -Arroyo says,"These freshly -recorded songswere the European hit parade ofthe 13th century."

A sign that some

people are still con-nected to the '90swas the directentry at number 3in early May ofPogues-sounda-likes Celtas Cor-

tos with its new album En EstosTiempos Inciertos (In These Uncer-tain Times). The band has a celtic-tinged sound, though none of itsmembers comes from Spain's celticnorth-western regions of Galiciaand Asturias.

Another act that proves Span-ish pop/ rock is still lively isMacarena (Serdisco/BMG) by theduo Los Del Rio. As last week'sfastest-nioving record in Music &Media's Border Breakers chart,the single was featured in "AirplayAction" (see May 18 issue).

Papa Dee The Journey (Telegram/Warner)Daniel Wahlgren a.k.a. Papa Dee delivered the sear-ing vocals on the Leftfield hit Release The Pressure.He's also a regular tour member of New York -basedacid jazz act Brooklyn Funk Essentials.

Veronica is now claimingDfl3 million in set-up andoperating costs which they sayQuote has failed to pay. Quote,however, is confident of win-ning any court case. "The jointventure contracts were actual-ly never finalised and signed,"

bound to anger the major pri-vate radio operators (notablyRTL, Europe 1 and NRJ) whoclaim the pubcaster alreadyoccupies far too many frequen-cies. The CSA will have thehard task of allocating the fre-quencies for the new station,although it is possible that thegovernment will invoke itspowers of priority for frequen-cy allocation.

Some industry insiders sug-gest that a youth networkwould make more sense in anurban context, and that amini -network could be set upjust in the big cities. This, it ishoped, would solve the prob-lem of frequency shortages.

EuroPop Dayscontinued from page 1

Last year the trade fair andconference programme attract-ed some 5.000 visitors per day,but EuroPop Days 1996 onlymanaged a total of 3.500. Onlya few hundred non -profession-al -visitors made use of the pub-lic day on Sunday. Yet at thesame time, the festival audi-ence grew by 30% to a total of20.000 visitors, who were ableto witness 22 concerts featur-ing 90 (mostly unsigned) actsfrom all over Europe.

"We have to ask ourselveswhether the time is yet ripe fora European music fair," admitsLeonhard. "As long as theindustry is segmented intonational markets it will be dif-ficult to establish a pan-Euro-pean trade fair."

Leonhard sees the long-term aim of EuroPop Days as"bringing together artists andA&R people in a relaxed envi-ronment." In this, Euro PopDays' second year, some 80

A&R people (mostly from theGSA region), gathered inFreiburg. He is confident thatwe could easily attract up to

500 A&R representatives inthree to four years time."

Leonhard remains con-vinced that the event offers aneffective forum for a Europe -wide exchange of know-how inits conference programme."Figures alone are not suffi-cient to describe the musicindustry in Europe," he says."To form a realistic picture ofthe industry you have to hearinsider opinions. Thanks to ECsupport we had industryexperts from all over Europeon our panels during the con-ference Making Music Work.We have gained a comprehen-sive collection of views on thefuture development of theindustry." A report based onthe findings from MakingMusic Work will be presentedto the EC in two months time. For a detailed report onEuroPop Days 1996 see page 7.

PC4t6TC]Rumoured This Week...

Classic Set To Float?Classic FM may be floated on the stock market next year. Rumoursbegan circulating after chief executive John Spearman announcedthat he will become deputy chairman with special responsibility foroverseas expansion this summer. The popular classics station'slicence expires in 2000, and its value is estimated to be £70 million(app. US$105 million). From this summer, Classic FM will alsooffer regional advertising slots to its clients by "opting out" itsregional network of FM transmitters during commercial breaks.There are no plans, however, for separate regional programming.

Deutsche Telekom Pushes DABOTR has been told that Deutsche Telekom (DT) is scaling downmaintenance of its FM transmitters and is concentrating on DABinstead. DT is in charge of all broadcast transmissions in Germany.An industry insider estimates that DT will replace all FM signalswith DAB within five years.

MCE Launches Peep ShowPay -radio broadcaster Music Choice Europe (MCE) is using a freeFM frequency in the Frankfurt cable net as a teaser for its regularchannels. The programme consists of 20 -minute samples from eachof MCE's 60 music -only channels. The station has also recentlybecome available in Frankfurt via satellite. OTR hears that MCEhas a six-month agreement with Deutsche Telkom with an optionto extend the promotional service.

Alternative Rock Goes ArtMan's Ruin MD Frank Kozik has designed posters for all the bignames in US alternative rock from the Beastie Boys to Green Day.OTR hears that an exhibition of Kozik's underground posters willbe part of PopKomm 1996. Visitor's to EuroPop Days this yearcaught a glimpse of Kozik's work in an exclusive preview.

New Appointment Could Tip Power BalanceOTR hears that one of the nine members of French broadcastingauthority CSA, Georges -Francois Hirsch, will be leaving the organi-sation two years before the end of his term of office. Appointed byformer president Mitterrand, Hirsch is believed to be keen to returnto his previous job as administrator of a national theatre. Hirschwas one of the CSA members directly involved in radio regulation.He is also the founder of the association Musiques France Plus,which unites the different branches of the music and radio indus-try. Hirsch's replacement will be appointed by Jacques Chirac, andthe choice could well change the internal balance of power withinCSA, as five members were appointed by left wing and three byright wing parties.

New Head Initiates Radical Shake -UpFrench international radio service RFI is to initiate a major reformof its programming following the arrival at the end of 1995 of newpresident Jean -Paul Cluzel. RFI will be transformed into an all -news international network, delivering news in French and in sev-eral other languages to the five continents. In addition, it is under-stood that three specialist programmes will be launched anddelivered via satellite to stations willing to pick up the signal andbroadcast it. The programmes will consist of traditional Frenchchanson, contemporary French music and international music witha strong world music feel. The changes are due to be implementedover the coming months.

lRG To Buy Signal Radio?OTR has heard that the Independent Radio Group, which recentlypurchased Q96/Paisley and the former Allied Radio group, is in thefinal stages of negotiations to buy Signal Radio. The Stoke -On -Trent -based company, which was put up for sale on April 6, cur-rently operates three stations-Signal One/Stoke, SignalGold/Stoke and Signal Cheshire/Stockport. The Independent RadioGroup, formed late last year, features a number of directors fromthe former Transworld Communications radio group. Also on themarket soon is believed to be the Minster Radio Group (owners ofMinster FM/York, Yorkshire Coast Radio/Scarborough and SunCity/Sunderland). OTR understands that the company's directorsare keen to cash in on the current buoyant state of the commercialradio market.

Airplay ActionEHR Top 40 commentary by Pieter Kops

The hottest record onEuropean Hit Radiothis week is undoubt-edly Bryan Adams'up -tempo rocker, thelengthily -titled TheOnly Thing ThatLooks Good On Me IsYou. Following lastweek's conquest of the

Adams' new single highest chart debut atnumber 17, the song

leaps up 10 places in Radio Active form, whilecollecting the format's highest number of simulta-neous adds for the second consecutive week (22 first-time reports, 20 last week).

During the last few weeks, the Canadian rock star'snew single has build up a 62 -station roster, spread outover 19 European countries. This week's growth islargely due to new airplay in the UK, Germany,Holland and Poland. All in all, Dutch and Swiss EHRprogrammers stand out as most supportive, producingnational penetration figures of 100% and 80%,respectively. Looking at it from an all -format, "majormarket" perspective, Adams' new song does best inFrance (positioned at number 3), Spain (4), GSA (6)and Benelux (6) (see Major Market Airplay, page 27).

This week's EHR Top 40 incorporates only two newtitles-both in the bottom area of the chart. Thehighest of the two (at number 37), is the contemporarydance remix of Macarena, the cheerful spring hit by

Spanish nostalgia/MORduo Los Del Rio. Indeed,an EHR position was theonly thing still lacking forthe song, whose currentsuccess was described inlast week's "On The Road"column-on the occasionof its jump to number 4 asfastest mover on Border

Breakers. This week it has remained in that position,as well as in the number 6 slot in the Eurochart Hot100.

On EHR, Macarena is embraced by a roster ofremarkably high calibre. No less than 89% of thestations are ranked Gold or Platinum, a very highproportion. This explains the song's entrance in thechart in spite of its relatively small roster, measuringonly 28 reporters-a number found more frequently inEHR's "bubbling under" levels. Los Del Rio's rosterencompasses 13 countries, of which Holland,Germany and Austria are most prominentlyrepresented-with current penetration ratios of 83%,53% and 50% respectively.

From producer to artist, Tony'scredits include work withELTON JOHN and THE SOUNDSOF BLACKNESS, BOYZ II MEN,JOHNNY GILL, TONY BRAXTON,TLC and PEBBLES.

"WORDS is a refreshingly thought-

ful and unorthodox brand ofcontemporary R&B... bringingcompositional complexity back toa genre that had been dominatedby simplistic loops of rhythm andeven simpler melodies... His lyricshave the emotional depth ofvintage OTIS REDDING':

ROLLING STONE

"TONY RICH's career is off to afast start, thanks to enormousradio acceptance of his NOBODYKNOWS single... equally adept atstylish, mainstream love songs oradventurous, off-centre tunes thatchronicle social misdeeds or mis-understandings in unexpectedways... Rich operates with aconfidence and skill that couldestablish him as one of the mostnoteworthy pop soul communicators

since the heyday of Motown':LOS ANGELES TIMES

"A fine introduction to an artistwith exceptional promise':

BILLBOARD

"...this debut rides on an almostacoustic rhythmic base, gorgeousharmonies and Rich's plaintive,self-questioning vocals. An original

blend of SMOKEY ROBINSON,D'ANGELO and PRINCE, the vocal

From Sports To Star -Studded GloryA 25 -Year Success Story

Fully privatised and switched justin time from sports to entertain-ment in the broadest sense of theword, Rotterdam's Ahoy' arenahas made it through the econom-ic recession with flying colours.Only 10 years ago Holland'sbiggest indoor arena was due fordemolition. On its 25th anniver-sary the future looks brighterthan ever with the prestigiousdevelopment plan Ahoy' 2000.Rise the curtains, "multi -function-ality" is the word.

Wim Schipper

"To me Ahoy's organisation is small, effec-tive and quick. Not only is the buildingmulti -functional, but the people are alsovery flexible. For the opera we need onlythree meetings with Ahoy's management.They understand that from a business -to -business point of view the best time toschedule the opera is January, generallythe off-season. I rate their expertise veryhighly. From sports events to fairs andcongresses, they can handle it all."Peter Kroone, MD of The Companions BV,organiser of the yearly Opera At The Ahoy

originally designed as a sports arena,Ahoy's potentialas a concert venue was soon discovered. From PinkFloyd-the first rock band to gig in Ahoy' (1971)-

to Sinatra, from Janet Jackson to Aerosmith, star acts haveperformed at the Ahoy' and have to an extent proved to beits saving grace.

"Although we still organise sports events here like theWorld League Finals in volleyball, we have steadily put moreand more emphasis on entertainment in general," notesAhoy' managing director Wim Schipper, a former recordindustry executive who joined the enterprise in 1990, theyear of its privatisation. "We have everything on our premis-es-from regular trade fairs to American TV preachers."

Two of the latest striking additions on the arena's agendaare the yearly "Opera At The Ahoy' (since 1993) and theHeineken -sponsored semi -classical "Night Of The Proms." Asclassical music has become entertainment for a larger publicin the wake of Luciano Pavarotti's success, Schipper consid-ers these recent additions only logical. "Our programme hasto be versatile. We also want to be known for more than justrock concerts. Opera is for the masses too, so we took it outof its often elitist context."

Depending on what kind of event is scheduled, the Ahoy'can accommodate 8.000-11.000 people. During the operanight it is a 7.000 -seater only, as the playing field for sportsevents is used as a huge stage-at pop concerts the pitch is aterrace for the punters.

The "Ahoy' 2000" development plan calls for a 10.000 m2extension of the fairground as well as the renovation of themain concert venue where the cycling track has alreadybeen removed. By 1998 construction is expected to be com-pleted.Ahoy' itself contributes Dfl.75 million (app. US$44

We congratulate the AHOY on its 25th anniversary

million) of the total Df1.110 million, while the city ofRotterdam is contributing the remaining Df1.35 million.Eventually the city of Rotterdam will become a minoritystockholder as opposed to the 100% it held in the past.Ahoy'in the '90s has developed into a sound business.

"In the future we'll be able to organise two major rockconcerts at the same time if we like," asserts Schipper. "Allbuildings will be multi -functional, with the possibility ofshifting things from one structure to another.As a matter offact, we are already doing that at the yearly ABN AMRO tennistournament, with courts all over the premises."

Meanwhile in rival metropolis Amsterdam, a new footballstadium is being built. Schipper doesn't shy away from theincreased competition to be expected from the hyper -mod-em Amsterdam Arena and the 5.000 -seat concert hall thatentertainment conglomerate Endemol and Ahoy's long-timebusiness partner Mojo Concerts plan to erect next to it.

"As a football stadium the Amsterdam Arena is much big-ger than the Ahoy', while that new hall will be much small-er," Schipper observes. "Concerts which can sell out the firstare too big for us, while a 3.000 -person concert would mean

'Ahoy's main asset is that it has neverbeen behind the times. It switched fromsports to entertainment right on time. Inthe past sports events always came firstand then all the rest. Now its principalfunction is different. Therefore it's stillalive and kicking."Leon Ramakers, MD of Mojo Concerts,promoter of rock concerts and Ahoy'sbiggest client

only a half-filled Ahoy' which doesn't appeal to anyone. Inthis business we're the only one in the 11.000 category.These different sizes all have their own niche."

Ahoy' has been the stage for numerous concerts of worldstars. Some artists have done a series of concerts. Diana Rossdid five nights in a row, Spandau Ballet six. Record holder isDutch singer Rene Froger who performed in the Ahoy' for 10nights consecutively at the end of 1994, beating the previousrecord of another Dutch singer Lee Towers by two nights. Inthis jubilee year Tina Turner will be performing live for eightnights as well.

Looking back at the history ofRotterdam's pride, concerts by DavidBowie, oe Cocker, Queen and thefirst Opera At The Ahoy' stand outmost in Schipper's memory. To com-memorate the 25th jubilee a two-day"Best Of Ahoy" festival will be stagedin the autumn. Ahoy' is ready for thesecond millennium.

'In Ahoy' every artist becomes mega. Itmakes you feel totally adrenalised. It's theonly place in Holland where you can puttogether a Las Vegas -style gala show. Thearena has been of added value and a cat-alyst not only for my own career but alsofor the careers of other Dutch artists. I'mproud I've been pioneering arena con-certs in Holland."Lee Towers, Dutch singer and record hold-er of most shows in the Ahoy -totalling 45nights
