3. WORLD MUSIC IN FRANCE

3.1 INTRODUCTION

In the new millennium, world music has succeeded in strengthening its place in the French musical

landscape. We consider the market share of this genre to be situated in a bracket between 5 % and 6 %.

Only a dozen artists could aspire to sales of albums equal or superior to 100 000 copies in France, between

2000 and 2003. On the other hand, the annual number of disc published (32 000 to 33 000) during the

same period is very representative of the numerous and diverse productions.

It is difficult to give statistics concerning live gigs, as there are no specific observation tools in this sector.

However, if we consider the strong professional dynamic on French stages, we understand that the market

share of world music of live gigs is superior than of the disc. The contribution of the state, on a local as

well as regional level, is extremely important, as the latter participates to the development of live music

gigs of the world genre.

Although both live and record sectors are fragile, a real network supports them. Independent companies,

who introduced this network dynamic, play a major role for the finding of artists and the development of

their careers. The media coverage of world music is very poor. The indifference of the important national

media, television and radio, is an enigma, seeing as France is a country which advocates its cultural

exception and which is often considered from the outside as a pillar of world music.

3.2 AUDIENCE, ARTISTS AND POLITICS

From the outside, France appears as one of the most dynamic markets in terms of world music. European

operators, who try to develop their productions and artists in France however, often have the impression of

being confronted to a brick wall. For the latter, the various systems of government aid, from which French

companies may benefit, seem to create an obstacle difficult to by-pass. Although the competition can be

rough in a sector grouping numerous professionals, some implanted for many years, it is clear however

that these same French professionals contribute actively to the development of a network, with their

European homologues. Trade fairs such as the Womex and Strictly Mundial were hosted France in 1997

and in 2002, which confirms the European opening of the French market.

France constituted, as from the 1980s, a pioneer place of discovery and development towards the

international markets, for foreign artists representing cultures with a particularly strong musical

Reference: Observatoire de la Musique, from the data of the national Syndicate of music publishing (SNEP). This only takes into account the

productions of its members. Not forgetting the fact that important producers in the field of world music are not all members of the SNEP, theseresults can seem slightly underestimated.


expression. They are artists from French-speaking Africa, produced by French entities, who provided the

foundations of what soon became the market of “world music” for the English-speaking world, the

“musiques du monde” for the French-speaking world. Several reasons initiated this:

- From a sociological point of view, there is a large cultural variety in the French population. This element

favors the broadcasting of creations, answering to stylistic forms associated to tastes and cultural

references of social groups, which are the ones demanding.

- Many artists of various cultural origins live in France. Others have established a contact with producers,

who accompany them in the development of their career on stage or on record, or both.

- The policies of welcoming people of various cultural origins, articulate around the concepts of

"integration" and "social coeducation". This differs from the Anglo-Saxon approach, which privileges a

community, grouping together populations of same cultural background, in defined urban spaces. The

effect of these policies on the interest carried by the French public in world music must not be

underestimated. However, the impact of the cultural community as an identifier preserves all its pertinence

to the development of artists' career, in particular for populations with a significant demographic

importance, such as the French Antilles, the Maghreb, western Africa or the Indian Ocean, to name a few.

The consideration of these combined elements allows to establish a base of activities for the artist.

Basically, one can take into account, among the favorable elements, the fact that the artist’s career is based

on a cultural community. Then it is thanks to the efficiency of the team working around the artist, if the

public widens beyond this initial restricted circle. Professional structures in the live or record sector allow

the artist to assert himself or herself on national, European and international networks.

3.3 PLACE OF THE EUROPEAN ARTISTS

Latin American and African artists currently dominate the ‘world’ music market. This constant

international entity is also confirmed in France. The fact remains that a demand on behalf of the French

public concerns the important European stylistic currents: Celtic music, flamenco, fado, gypsy music,

etc….

3.3.1 REGIONS AND CULTURAL AFFINITIES

The functioning of the French musical sector has always, and continues to be, centered in the capital,

Paris, a compulsory stop-over when on an international tour, and where are implanted most labels and

most of the media. It is interesting to notice however, that Europe has initiated a sort of decentralization,

including in the field of world music. Because French regions have revalorized their own cultures, some

of them feel closer to other regions of European countries, in terms of language, singing, musical


instruments or rhythms for dancing: Brittany with the Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the Galice; Nord Pas

de Calais with Flanders and Wallonia, but also with Poland because of the assimilation of the former

emigrated minors; the region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur with Piedmont and the north of Italy;

Roussillon with Catalonia, and so forth. This evidently favors the development of relations between artists

of various European countries, for whom opportunities to be produced in France could surface as a

resident or simply cross creations with French artists. These interregional cultural relations could

introduce and start various partnerships with French professional operators.

3.3.2 MOBILITY OF THE CULTURES ON THE EUROPEAN TERRITORY

In any case, the dynamics of partnerships, whether trans-regional or of another nature, appear amongst the

most appropriate means for a European artist to approach the French market. The commercial logics of

territories followed by majors, privilege the competition between national subsidiaries. Productions

answering to the Anglo-Saxon criteria and aesthetics of “mainstream” are put forward for international

markets, to the detriment of the esthetics from cultures of countries or regions of Europe. It is

symptomatic to notice that most of the important German, Scandinavian, Italian or Spanish celebrities are

almost unknown to the French general public. In the field of world music, it is by taking the opposite

method that independent producers have succeeded in establishing an autonomous and dynamic market.

The notion of territory applies only at the level of license agreements or distribution. On the other hand,

and more importantly, there is no longer a systematic correlation between aesthetics and territory. For

instance, Taraf de Haïdouks, one of the most beautiful success’ of these last few years, is a gypsy

orchestra ignored in his country, Rumania, however discovered, produced and developed by a Belgian

independent label (Crammed World). Other example, Bulgarian polyphonies were promoted by a Swiss

label … The place of European artists on the French market is not at all subjected to the same

determinism. The most different styles are mixed together.

3.3.3 SIGNIFICANT EUROPEAN STYLES WELL IMPLANTED IN FRANCE

Celtic music found its audience a long time ago, and have a network, which is particularly dynamic and

creative. Imported by the folk song stream, Celtic music has been implanted since the 1970s in the French

cultural scenery. After a temporary loss of fame, the Celtic wave recovered in the second half of the

1990s. The public did not stop renewing and getting younger at the same period as the extraordinary

cultural interest in Brittany. Irish music, particularly appreciated, is practiced in all regions of France

thanks to a list of associations who organize their club/concerts evenings, balls and dances around this

genre … There are many sites and chat rooms on the Internet that illustrate this. Festivals attract the

general public. The oldest (34th edition in 2004), the largest, the most symbolic, and the most established

of all summer festivals in France is no other than the Inter Celtic Festival of Lorient: 600 000 spectators in


10 days, 14 concert venues, several thousand artists … The French careers of the numerous artists of the

Celtic language, such as Galician Carlos Nuñez, were able to build and strengthen themselves in Lorient.

The flamenco and the fado also have their well-established circuits. The craze for the flamenco, which is

not recent in France, has only strengthened these last few years, with an increasing demand for guitar and

flamenco dance classes. Flamenco artists regularly occur on French scenes and excellent record

collections continue to promote a flamenco of quality (Enrique Morente, Moraito, Diego El Cigala,

Miguel Poveda, etc.). The French public is always on the lookout for new artists and new experiences. The

fado took a new dimension on the French scene thanks to the talent of the singers of the new generation

(Katia Guerreiro, Cristina Branco, Mariza, etc.), tastefully and efficiently promoted by French

professionals. The opening of the former eastern block allowed the best of gypsy music from the Balkans

to settle down in the French market. The most interesting artists in this domain are produced by European

structures (German or Dutch), which knew how to perfectly play their cards on the French market.

Except for these important musical currents already well appreciated in France, other aesthetic genres with

a strong potential, are much less well represented. Scandinavian music, in spite of the attempts of artists to

breakthrough such as Kimmo Pohjonen or Värttinä, still remains weakly broadcasted and badly known.

The new Hungarian and Polish scenes also have all their chances with groups such as BeshodroM and

Warsaw Village Band. As for Greek music, they could take advantage of the charm that the French public

have towards music from Mediterranean islands … Music of all European countries find a wide place on

shelves or catalogs of record shops, whether physical or virtual.

Tips• in order to better understand the French market and the functioning of it, it is useful to:- Consult institutional bodies interested in international exchanges- Get close to networks of European operators

• in order to put all chances on one’s side to penetrate the French market, one shall watch not to neglect to:- Track down the various networks, resource places and regional structures likely to supply informationabout the realities of the country as well as the contacts- Find relays or supports within the cultural community of the artist- Associate the trip of the artist in France to his or hers implication in projects in which the localpopulations are actively involved (stage, master class, conferences), or in a meeting with cultural actorsand public• Generally speaking,the forms of collaboration in partnership with French professional operators appearamong the best means to positively approach the French market.

3.4 THE RECORDS

On the phonographic level, world music approximately represented, in 2003, 5,6 % of the market in

value*. It took place in front of classical music (approximately 5 %) and surpassed a little more widely the


domain of jazz / blues (approximately 4 %). This tendency, which asserted itself gradually over a period

of ten years, is connected to the increasing implication of major companies. By applying to world music

artists the same strategies of development and marketing as for pop / rock artists, majors gave them a

launch identical to that of international celebrities. They played on the phenomenon of "block-busters" in a

market that had only rare examples of it, until the mid 1990s. In case of success, independents labels can

be relieved by majors. But it is noticeable that specialized labels that are subcategories of majors, rarely

show a vocation for the discovery, nor for the development of artists, long term.

3.4.1 MAJORS COMPANIES

The euphoria that surrounded the vitality of the sector of world music, is beaten in breach in this record

crisis, which majors are feeling quite harshly. If some artists of international caliber have the sale potential

of exceeding 100 000 copies, those whose records would sell 20 000 have difficulty today in reaching half

of the objective. Formerly ruled by contracts, the tour supports is the first victim of the budget cuts in

majors. Currently, artists are confronted with the difficulty of the renewal of their contracts, when they are

not simply returned to them. For developing artists, majors cannot envisage, in 2004, a set up of more than

4000 records, which represents half or a third of the figures in 2002. From this point of view, the work of

“world” labels of majors is more and more similar to that of the independent labels.

Until summer 2004, in three of the French majors, BMG, Universal and Warner, jazz labels have taken

charge of a part of world music productions, without having exclusiveness of them. Sony is also divided

between several labels, Saint George being the most specialized one. Virgin France Collective is trusted

with EMI’s world music sector, on top of its own national catalogue of products of various specialized

labels: Real World, Yerba Buena, Luaka Bop, Narada, EMI Arabia, etc.

3.4.2 INDEPENDENT RECORD LABELS

Independent labels are the forces of the world music market. We owe them the work of cleansing the

musical genre, discovering artists, founding careers, risk-taking on projects of creation, and so forth.

Furthermore they do not have the same restrictions as majors, who have to invest a large sum of money in

marketing for smaller amounts of shipment. However, the success of certain labels, such as Lusafrica,

must not mask the reality of this sector, where a majority of small record companies work on a precarious

budget.

With about 200 labels producing traditional and world music in the Irma’s database, the sector presents a

variety of patterns:

- Certain companies ally the activities of production and of distribution: Harmonia Mundi (World

Village, The Song of the World, etc.), Next Music (Sound system, Al Sur, etc.), Night & Day,

Coop Breizh, Keltia Musique, Nocturne, Club du Disque Arabe, etc.

- Others are part of the pioneers who contributed in establishing the reputation of French production

in terms of world music. They possess an important capital of catalogs today and continue to

produce: Buda Musique, Lusafrica, Ocora Radio France, Arion, Celluloïd, Inédit, Créon Music,

Iris Musique, Label Bleu, etc.

- Younger labels attempt to stand out by their differences, by developing original artistic concepts:

Accords Croisés, L’Empreinte Digitale, Cinq Planètes, Long Distance, Nord Sud, etc.

- Certain labels concentrate on one culture in particular: Gafaiti (North Africa), JPS (Central

Africa), Oceania Records (Pacific Ocean), the Oz Production (Brittany), Ricordu (Corsica), etc.

- Others like Cobalt, Daqui, Marabi and Rue Bleu are connected to festivals or event companies,

whereas others like Nova Records, to media.

Dynamic on their own niches of market, certain independent labels understood at a very early stage the

interest they had in diversifying their commercial partnerships. They therefore deal directly with

specialized operators (museums, cultural institutes, specialized wholesalers, etc.). With a lack of

marketing operations, independent labels can develop communication strategies to arise the interest of

shop retailers. By starting the promotions upstream to the release of the album, they try to create a “buzz”

and pass it to a media partner at the release of the album.

The influence of concerts on the sales of records is enormous. Gilles Fruchaux from Buda Musique states

that “it is the best marketing plan and the best way to enter into the different regions of France, if we work

with a competent booking agent”, because it is regional sales that make the difference. 20 000 to 30 000


copies sold in France represents a good score for an independent label. However certain records do not

sell more than 300 copies. This is a phenomenon, which is not very surprising if we take into account the

mass of units published each month.

The strength of independents labels lies in their flexibility of action, their capacity of adaptation and their

power to take risks on a commercial level, as they already do on an artistic one.

Tips:For the launch of an album in France :• Identify a partner, ensuring the functions:

- Of a human interface between the producer and the distributor- Of an advisor with a capacity of initiative to organize a promotional campaign for the release of

the album

• Coordinate the release of the record with the artists on stage

• Launch the promotion of the album long before its release

• Favor the sales of records in regional areas with an appropriate promotions plan and the presence of the artists.

3.4.3 DISTRIBUTION AND SHOPS

The French world music market has flourished so much that it seems particularly blocked by the

continuous flow of releases each week. Although we can find numerous imported records in independent

distributors catalog, the number of records available in France for each reference does not often exceed 50

copies …

In 2003-2004, independent distributors took over a part of the market from majors in crisis. Majors

marketing operations are very expensive while shipments are reduced. However, the survival of

independent labels shows that the decline is proportionally equivalent although the financial volume is not

comparable. The fact that French distributors are non-specialized does not favor the exposure of

independent productions. Labels suffer from the movement of concentration in current independent

distribution and from the redundancy due to this.

Whether independent or majors, all labels are confronted to the politics of shipment established by the big

chains of music stores. It is true that spaces dedicated to world music offer a wide variety of products, and

are the only ones not to have decreased in surface. However, the period of exposure of all new releases is

restricted to three weeks, with reduced shipments, and the albums that have a slow sale are returned to the


producers within two months following their release. This situation incites all operators to begin with

independents, and reflect about procedures and tools better adapted to their needs in terms of distribution.

During an interview in Music Info Hebdo (n°304, May 21, 2004), Christian Le Manac’h, CEO of the

network of independent record dealers Starter grouping 80 selling points, explains: “as specialists, we

must maintain a large range of offers. Accumulate small volumes of numerous units. The opposite of

those who make 80 % of their turnover with only 20 % of units.” This type of recommended strategy

seems to adapt well to world music productions. The advice of the specialized salesman to a buyer is an

"added value". Certain small specialized record shops have understood and apply this strategy, such as

Baba Yaga Records, a Parisian record dealer whose Internet site is completely dedicated to Eastern

European music.

3.5 THE LIVE SCENE

Shows are an essential part in the development of European world music artists, in France. Most of those

who are recognized by the public today forged their reputation by a presence on stage. The success of a

record is often connected to the stage exposure of the artist, and the good choice of festivals that can act as

a stepping-stone towards the organization of a tour for example.

3.5.1 STAGE ENTREPRENEURS

In the Irma database, there are 260 agents and show entrepreneurs who work in the field of traditional

world music. Some have a restricted activity and concentrate on the career of a single artist, however more

than a dozen of them follow the European trend of creation and work to develop artists established in

other countries of Europe. These professionals have different profiles generally depending on their artistic

tastes.

The appreciation for a voice or an excellent stage performance can determine their will to defend an artist.

At least it is the element that triggers the mechanism for Geneviève Girard and Bernard Batzen, who have

played an essential role in talent searching of European talents and continue to do so with their company

Azimuth. The festival Les Méditerréennes, which they organize at the same time, allows them to present

certain artists, in whom they believe, as Raul Paz or Mercan Dede. Other agents, pioneers of the European

world music rely on the network they patiently built. Among them, we can quote Tempo Si, directed by

Odile Meynadier, who developed in France the polyphonies of Genes of La Saquadra and discovered the

beauty of Sardinian music. As for José Renato of Zenial Productions, after having worked with the most

famous flamenco artists, including Camaron, he opened a new door to the new fado, introducing

alternately Misia, Cristina Branco, then Katia Gerreiro to the French public.


If specialties are found in booking agents rosters, as it can reflect their personal taste, most of them still

aim to have a variety of choice, which allows them to diversify their offer. It is the case for TroisQuatre!,

of which the gypsy trend is well valued with Boban Markovic Orkestar and Romano Drom. Daktari

Music is more in the Celtic world, with Carlos Nuñez notably. Naturally one finds European artists in

more non-specialized catalogs, who are well established, such as those of La Centrale (Besh O Drom),

Musicomedia (Taraf de Haïdouks), Run Production (Spacanapoli) and Les Visiteurs du soir (Paolo

Conte, Madredeus, Luz Casal). All these booking agents have an excellent knowledge of the market and

the tastes of the French audience. They can become invaluable professional partners for European

operators avid to develop their artists in France.

3.5.2 FESTIVALS

There is an abundant variety of festivals presenting traditional world music in France. The period from

June till September concentrates approximately 3/5 of festivals organized in a year. On 557 festivals listed

in the data base of the Irma as programming traditional world music, only 186, that is a little less than a

third, are held in this domain. Approximately two thirds (368 exactly), also schedule rock and song. A

little more than half (255 exactly) schedule jazz. This clearly shows to which point traditional world music

is integrated into the programs of more general (non-specialized) festivals today. It is also interesting to

indicate that, in the information given by these festivals to describe the music genre which they offer, only

31 of them claim the term "Europe” among the determining of their programming. In the domain so

appreciated by world music, the "European" notion often fades behind the identity of a culture in

particular. From this viewpoint, would it not be interesting to put forward this cultural variety which

constitutes Europe?

These last few years, the programs of traditional and world music has particularly seduced regional state

bodies: cities, regions.... They find in this type of programming, elements allowing to value certain

positive aspects of their cultural policy, while offering festive moments to the people they administrate.

The fact that they experimented the impact of this type of event in the sectors of tourism, patrimony, but

also social, allowed numerous festivals to maintain their activities, even to prolong actions centered

around the music, before and after of the festival. We can note the very interesting actions led with the

artists and the public in well implanted festivals, as Banlieues Bleues (east of Paris), Musiques Métisses

in Angoulême, the Festival des Hauts de Garonne in Bordeaux, Ida Y Vuelta in Perpignan, Les Temps

Chauds in Bourgogne, Nuits Métis in Marseilles, Les Suds in Arles, Les Nuits Atypiques in Langon,

Les Escales de Saint-Nazaire, Les Méditerranéennes of Argelès-sur-Mer, the Fiesta des Suds in

Marseilles, Nancy Jazz Pulsations, Africolor in Seine-Saint-Denis, and many others. Developing a


loyalty with their public thanks to sharp and renewed programming, these festivals are like "shop

windows", where booking agents come to track down the artists which they will want to schedule in the

future. Seven of them are a part of European Forum of Worldwide Music Festivals and are excellent

relays in France for European operators.

3.5.3 VENUES

According to the information collected by the Irma, a circuit of about 500 venues welcomes concerts of

traditional music and world music, on the French territory. Approximately half have a capacity of less

than 400 places, and 160 have a capacity included between 400 and 1200 places. About 350 associations

program concerts there. We observe even at present a phenomenon of specialization openly posted by

certain places except big cities, as the Espace Prévert “ Scène du Monde” of Savigny le Temple near Paris

and Le Nouveau Pavillion “Scène de musiques traditionnelles” in Bouguenais near Nantes.

• tips:To organize artists' scenic performances in France, it is advisable to:- Track down festivals and venues programming the musical genre of the artist- Take into account the fact that the programming of the cultural municipal places or "national stages" isestablished for the "season" (September to June) generally 6 to 12 months before the start of the season- Get closer to French professional structures susceptible to organize the trip, tour and the promotion ofthe artist in France

3.6 THE MEDIA

It is strange to notice the little place granted to world music by the French media, in spite of the interest

confirmed by a public, consumers of gigs, and discs.

3.6.1 AUDIOVISUAL

While the French-German public television channel Arte had played a pioneer role at the beginning of

1990s by programming"Mégamix”, weekly broadcast dedicated to world music subjects, today things are

very different. There is no television meeting for the lovers of world music, not even on the music channel

of cable Mezzo-Muzzik … Certain radio meetings remain in the public service, on France Culture and

Radio France International, and the audience remains restricted. On the other hand, FIP, whose musical

program is continuous and diversified, turns out, in terms of promotion, as one of the best radio partners

for music labels of world music. It is still on certain thematic radios, such as Nova, and community radios,

as Beur FM or Radio Latina, broadcasted in several regions of France, that one can find the best relays for

world music. Numerous regional radios have their specialized radio shows, which are good promotional

tools in big French cities.

The label "national stage", created in 1992, by the Ministry of Culture, applies to more than 60 venues that are in charge of promoting the artisticproduction in the dance, music and theatre fields.


3.6.2 PRESS

In the field of the press, force is to notice that the cultural pages of big national daily newspapers, such as

The Figaro, The Monde, Libération, regularly review in the sector, especially for the live gigs. If certain

weeklies are interested in headliners or in musical phenomena connected to the current political and social

events, they seem to have little impact on the consumption of world music. On the other hand, the real

influencers in terms of purchase of discs, are the general cultural weeklies, such as Télérama, whose

number of "keys" can be attributed to mark the quality of a disc is a reference for consumers, and in a

lesser measure Inrockuptibles.

3.6.3 SPECIALIZED PRESS

While the classical and jazz domain, less endowed in market shares, possess respectively several

specialized magazines, it seems that no publication is interested in world music. World –music... only

French monthly magazine completely dedicated to this genre and with a national circulation, is faced with

difficulties stabilizing its publication. A specialized monthly magazine, Vibrations, dedicates an important

part of its pages to world music, alongside jazz, funk, soul and electronic music. Certain press supports

approach certain specific musical genres with a community point of view. There are notably some

specialized magazines on African music and a monthly magazine dedicated to Celtic music started in May

2004.

3.6.4 PROMOTION

World music was for a long time badly known by promotion services, however today it has a relatively

solid base of structures and of competent specialized publicists. For the most part of them today, the latter

were formed within specialized independent labels. Having grown stronger due to their respective

experiences, they often opened their own independent structures. It is the case of BIP, Seasick Fontana,

Marianne Lau nay, Claire Extra, Catherine Michel, Pêle-Mêle, Eliane Petit or Salammbô. Independent

music labels as well as majors have nowhere near enough personnel to work on the promotion of the

increasing releases, therefore they regularly contact well-known people in the media for their competence.

Some have specialized themselves, such as Aoura in the field of the Celtic music, Art et Son Production

in Antillean music, or Baba Yaga in Eastern European music, etc. Some structures handle the promotion

and the marketing of foreign labels. It is the case of Métisse Music that at the same time as its activities of

musical publisher, drives in France the productions of the German label Piranha, in distribution at Night

and Day. Generally speaking, when a foreign label negotiates the use of its catalog in France with a

specialized distributor, one must also think of contacting an independent promotion service, in order to

have a good chance of broadcasting productions in the national media.


3.6.5 WEB SITES

Since 2000, there has been an extraordinary outbreak in the content dedicated to world music on the

Internet. One of the most recognized on-line magazines in this domain on a European level is Mondomix,

which publishes an English version, different from the French version. Search engines, community gates,

banks of archives, specialized stores, sites dedicated to a culture, even to a specific instrument, etc.the web

offers an extraordinary variety of approaches. It has become an indispensable tool of information; its new

developments in distribution of music should soon transform consumer trends, particularly in the field of

world music.
