What does a band face in the current national music scene? In the current context of music in Spain, a band that decides to leave the commercial margins faces multiple barriers, both economic and cultural.
However, there are bands that grow from self-management, word of mouth, the alternative circuit and live performances. Platforms such as Bandcamp, social networks, community radios and independent festivals allow creating niches with soul, where the public that does look for something different connects.
Taught by Joan S. Luna —Mondo Sonoro—, Jordi Meya —Rock Zone—, Jorge Ortega —Ruta 66— and Fernando Navarro Cano —El País.
When: Thursday, September 25 at 8:30 p.m.
