Internationalization of the Apulian music system



Puglia Sounds Export
Puglia Sounds Export is the line of intervention aimed at promoting the presence of Apulian operators and artists in the international music market. Using regional and European funds, Puglia Sounds acts through public notices aimed at operators in the music supply chain in order to encourage promotion and communication activities in foreign markets of the various musical projects of Apulian artists or of music from the Apulian repertoire and tradition. Among the various actions introduced, we find the public notice called Puglia Sounds Export, aimed at stimulating the organization of tours of Apulian musical projects abroad. From 2010 to today, almost 2 thousand dates have been closed by Apulian operators, all over the world, also thanks to the support of Puglia Sounds.
Memoranda of Understanding
Puglia Sounds also signs, annually, partnerships and memoranda of understanding with other export offices, with international networks and with the associations of various musical organisations. At the basis of the memorandum of understanding there is an agreement between Puglia Sounds and the partners where Puglia Sounds recognizes an economic compensation, paid directly to the partner involved, in the case of these programs an Apulian musical project. Puglia Sounds continues in the internationalization of Apulian music with the renewal for 2024 of the memorandums of understanding with the EJN — Europe Jazz Network, FWMF — Forum of Worldwide Music Festival and national networks I‑Jazz, KeepON Live, Rete Italiana World Music, Italia Jazz Club. These protocols are active until 31 December 2024.
Fairs & Conventions
The music sector consists of the creation and production of music, the performance and touring of music, and the internationalization and networking of music projects and players in the music supply chain. This way of looking at the music sector has led to the design and creation of specific calls for proposals. These are published annually and are open to all players in the music supply chain. Indeed, Puglia Sounds maintains a constant dialogue with professionals and artists, supporting them at every stage of music production.
Who is it aimed at?
To entities established in any legal form with a VAT number with ATECO code linked to the music supply chain.
