Midem is the acronym for Marché International du Disque et de l'Edition Musicale, which is organised annually in and around the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France. The trade show, which is billed as the leading international business event for the music ecosystem, has been held since 1967. Several thousand musicians, producers, agents, managers, lawyers, executives, entrepreneurs and journalists from around the globe regularly attend the event, which is usually held at the end of January or early February. While delegates from recording, artist management, and publishers network, new artists showcase their material. Also live music is on show in the evenings.
The event is developing like the industry and is now focused on the core music business (labels, publishers, rights societies and more), the technology sector (startups, developers and big tech companies), and brands and the agencies that represent them (for music and brand campaigns).
Business role
Midem provides a forum for business talks, political and legal discussions. It is a market where global distribution and music deals are sealed. It also is a platform for showcasing new artists, musical trends and music-related products.
Midem / Cannes 1968 (M. Kubišová, Y. Přenosilová, H. Hegerová, H. Vondráčková, J. Čeřovská...)
Hudební festival a zároveň trh MIDEM se v jihofrancouzském městě Cannes koná už od roku 1967. Na jeho druhém ročníku vystoupila tehdejší špička československé populární hudby v čele s Karlem Gottem. Všichni – tedy krom Gotta i Marta Kubišová, Helena Vondráčková, Václav Neckář, Judita Čeřovská, Yvonne Přenosilová, Helena Blehárová, Josef Laufer i Hana Hegerová náročné publikum přímo nadchli, a to nejen svými výkony, ale i výborným slovním projevem v angličtině či francouzštině. Unikátní příležitost zhlédnout záznam tohoto koncertu, v němž zazněla řada známých písní v různých jazycích.
