POLITICS AND CONTEMPORARY POP MUSIC: A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP?
CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE LISBOA | 15.00 – 16.30
This session will explore the role of politics in the music industry, and consider how this relationship operates in different regions of the world. At a time where public subsidies for the cultural and creative sectors are decreasing, we need to think about new, alternative ways to distribute the available resources. Is there a better way of rethinking city planning and reassessing social and cultural politics, in order to achieve new cultural ambitions?
MIGUEL HONRADO, the Portuguese Secretary of State of Culture, will attend this
discussion, with a brief introduction to the topic.
THE CREATIVE FORCE OF INDEPENDENT LABELS ON THE MUSIC MARKET
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 16.00 – 17.00
The advent of digital technology brought radical changes to the relationship between the different elements inside the music industry. In this debate, the role of the independent labels and their relationship with the music industry will be discussed. With the economic crisis, the major record labels partially resigned their role of monitoring artists they represented. Did these developments benefit or paralyse the progress of independent labels? How do these independent bodies contribute to the creative process? Moreover, how do they see their future in the digital era?
ARTIST’S RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 18.30 – 19.30
For years, options for the future of the musical industry have been imagined. But the digital revolution disrupted the musical landscape. Commercial flows changed and are now in different hands. Transparency and equal distribution of the music industry's resources and revenues are some of the preoccupations that affect the industry in the digital era and will be debated in this session.

THE HAPPY CITY
CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE LISBOA | 15.30 – 17.00

ARTISTS AND MANAGERS: REINVENTING A COLLABORATION IN PROGRESS
ESPAÇO ATMOSFERAS | 16.30 – 17.30
One role of the manager is to adapt to the artist’s reality. Nowadays, the artist-manager relationship is constantly challenged by new elements like new technologies, the economic crisis or the countless possibilities that social networks provide. What is the primary role of a manager in an artist’s career? Fund debut singles? Negotiate new contracts? Produce videos and social media content? What is the manager’s role in collecting royalties and related rights? Does the manager need to master every trick in the industry’s commercial playbook? Based on these questions, the relationship between the artist and the manager will be debated, taking into consideration the constant mutations that the sector itself imposes upon the artist and the creative process, plus production and distribution.
