Once again, the Government of Catalonia attends Jazzahead! with 16 Catalan companies

The Government of Catalonia, through the Cata-lan Institute for the Cultural Companies (ICEC), has now attended Jazzahead! for many years, as this event it’s one of the focal points of the music industry. Our main aim is to help raise the vis-ibility of the music sector in Catalonia through several international actions.

Jazzahead! has always been an important part on the international strategies for the promotion of the Catalan music industry and an excellent shop window for jazz artists from Catalonia, as well as for a great diversity of companies (management agencies, record labels, publishers, etc.) from our country.

Sixteen Catalan companies and institutions are attending this edition of Jazzahead! to be held in Bremen. Most of them are co-exhibitors at the Government of Catalonia – Creative Catalonia stand (number 6 B09), while Àngels Mas Music Production is at stand 6 A27.

This booklet lists all 16 Catalan companies and in-stitutions, and offers you some details about their activities, interests and delegates in Jazzahead! Should you be interested in finding out more on a particular one, please do not hesitate to contact them directly, or turn to any of the ICEC’s offices in Europe – located in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, London and Paris –for further assistance.
