I was a young teenager when the punk movement emerged, soon followed by the post-punk era which was extremely creative and musically open. I should also thank the French public radio network who gave me easy access to classical, experimental music, jazz and blues when I was a kid.<\/p>\n<p>When I moved to Paris in 1992, I worked in a theater close to the capital where the Africolor festival was taking place at that time. This is where I attended my first concert of Danyel Waro. A complete shock. The day after, I was immersed in a mandingo Christmas night with Malian musicians playing all night long and an incredible audience coming up on stage, dancing and throwing bank notes at them. It was crazy. Later, I met Africolor\u2019s creator Philippe Conrath. I was looking for work in the music field, he was looking for someone for a short replacement. The six months replacement period eventually lasted ten years. I worked on the organization of the festival and we started developing a touring department for the musicians Philippe was producing on his record label Cobalt. This is how it started.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%; background-color: #bf0404; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>It is easy for me to understand the impression that Danyel Waro made on Laurent. I&#8217;ve only been lucky enough to see him live once, at the FMM in Sines, and that man carries the music in each of his cells. After that experience that Laurent recounts, Danyel Waro has returned to Africolor on several occasions.

I\u2019m sure you get requests from artists every day to be their manager. I am sure because it happens to me too, and many colleagues tell me the same thing. Do you have any recommendations for the artists, so that they can improve the way they communicate when they do it for this purpose?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LB:\u00a0<\/strong>A lot of the requests I get come from artists who are musically very or too close to artists I am already working with. I would advise them to get in touch with agencies where they would be kind of unique, different, complementary from the rest of the catalogue. But I understand you are inclined to knock at every door when you are looking for partnerships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mapamundi M\u00fasica:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Do you think it makes sense for the artists to try to find an agent? Have you ever started a stable collaboration with a band or artist that approached you in their search of an agent?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LB:\u00a0<\/strong>Definitely. First, the artist will save a lot of time and energy. Second, we can use our expertise and network to resolve problems the artist may not be able to solve by himself (search for a label, distributor, etc.). I\u2019ve been working with artists since the creation of Cr\u00e9puscule Productions in 2008 and we\u2019re still enjoying working together despite the inevitable ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mapamundi M\u00fasica:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>I think there will be still, at least for many years, a lot of artists and a much smaller number of agents, that is the current situation. This makes me think that we are not in a very interesting business, otherwise there would be many more agents working in world music. Nevertheless, it seems the artists require us. Something seems to be wrong, what is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LB:\u00a0<\/strong>French mainstream media have reduced their support for world music. I don\u2019t believe that the use of social networks compensated for this decrease, like for other musical genres. Now, mainstream media is watching what&#8217;s popular in social nertworks&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how to solve this equation. The audiences we traditionally target use social media but not as intensively as the younger generations. And the younger generations are overwhelmed by the content valued on these social networks, which does not really value musical diversity (although the word &#8220;diversity&#8221; is now a mantra used to enhance our western multi-cultural societies\u2026).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080; font-size: 18pt;\"><em>&#8220;It has never been easier to discover new music and the public has never seemed so unconcerned.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For me, the development of the use of the internet has created a paradox: it has never been easier to discover new music and the public has never seemed so unconcerned. The offer is suddenly so vast that we are lost, helpless, facing this digital ocean and we take refuge in musical genres or artists that we already know, which reassures us. The world music scene is a vast ocean in itself, which is great for us, but probably kind of scary (or boring!) for some people. This is perhaps what makes us fragile.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #008080;\"><em>&#8220;We are now more and more confronted with this market reality.

Since the last decade and over, things have drastically changed, and we are now more and more confronted with this market reality. For most of us, it does not correspond to our philosophy, our desire to defend and promote musical aesthetics which, for us, carry much more than thei commercial potential. We must try to hold on with conviction, patience, confidence and enthusiasm, but I believe it\u2019s the artists themselves who give us the strength to continue. And if the public could support us a little more, it would almost be heaven!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Portrait of Laurent, provided by him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Logo and patchwork, from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crepusculeprod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cr\u00e9puscule Productions&#8217; website<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 88.2564%; height: 37px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%; height: 24px; border-color: #ab0707; background-color: #a60000; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Do you have a call of interest for our community that you want to share?
