The fifth edition of MAPS, Market of the Performative Arts of the South Atlantic, begins tomorrow, July 4, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with the inauguration of the Music Digital Rights Seminar, SEDD, at 9.15 a.m. The complexity of managing and optimizing the resources generated by copyright in the digital universe are the central theme of this meeting, which brings together leading industry experts from the three continents within the geographic scope of MAPAS, Africa, Latin America and South of Europe. The objective of this forum is to generate a meeting point for the sector, facilitating the tools for the management and monetization of their rights, and promoting contact between professionals, as well as the generation of business opportunities for the participants.
The Seminar on Digital Music Rights “has a very important point of reference and goal, which is to keep in mind where we are going”, explains Octavio Arbeález, co-director of MAPAS. As detailed by the also artistic coordinator of the market, "music is a sector in constant reinvention after the irruption of the digital world, it has several milestones and several moments of crisis, and the last one has to do with consumption in streaming, the irruption of web 3.0, other monetization models or the generation of other types of communities”. In his opinion, all this “makes it happen again like a twist in which we have to be thoughtful and prepare ourselves, look at the future, envision it and bet on it. That is what we intend with this seminar within the framework of MAPAS”.
This Seminar is the starting point for the fifth edition of the South Atlantic Performing Arts Market, the second with a regional structure, in which Gran Canaria will host the professional part dedicated to music, to move to Tenerife from next Thursday 7th and until Saturday 9th July, where the performing arts have a leading role, both in what it refers to the professional market, artistic exhibitions and other activities linked to the sector.
MAPAS is organized by the Government of the Canary Islands, the Cabildo de Tenerife, the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, unahoramenos and Circulart, in collaboration with the City Councils of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Arucas and Agaete.
The Music Digital Rights Seminar, which is held in coordination with Unity, the independent music rights management operator, will start tomorrow, Monday, July 4, at 9:15 a.m., with the intervention of Octavio Arbeláez, co-director and artistic director of MAPAS; Jordi Puy, co-founder and CEO of Unison; Y Adriana Moscoso, general director of Cultural Industries, Intellectual Property and Cooperation of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Government of Spain.
