CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES FOR FESTIVALS.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The last month we started this series of mini interviews with the director of\u00a0Folk Holidays<\/a>, Michal Schmidt. If you missed it, you can read it\u00a0here<\/a>. We launch now other two.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

MINI INTERVIEW WITH JUN-LIN YEOH FROM\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>RAINFOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

<\/a>Rainforest World Music Festival takes place in July in Sarawak, a Malaysian region in the island of Borneo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MM – What do you search in an artist when you program?<\/strong>
\nJY -Something that will suit the stages and venues of the festival.
\nSomething that will complement or be nicely different from other acts to make a nice contrast.
\nSomething with interesting ethnic instruments.
\nA band with presence and projection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MM – Which are the global objectives of your festival?<\/strong>
\nJY – To showcase music from different cultures.
\nTo emphasize the importance of preserving traditions.
\nTo present non-maistream music.<\/div>\n

MM – What are the most complicated or difficult issues to deal with in your festival?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJY\u00a0 – Logistics and travel.<\/p>\n

MM – Which are currently the main challenges for this kind of cultural proposals like yours?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJY – Logistics, finance, travel.<\/p>\n

MM – In one sentence, summarize the reason\/s to go to your festival.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nMS – The unexpectedness of finding music from all over the world in Borneo.<\/p>\n

MINI INTERVIEW WITH LUIS LLES FROM <\/strong><\/span>PIRINEOS SUR<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\nPirineos Sur\u00a0takes place in July in the villages of Sallent de G\u00e1llego and Lanuza, in the province of Huesca (Spain), at the top of the Pirinees.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

<\/a>Rainforest World Music Festival takes place in July in Sarawak, a Malaysian region in the island of Borneo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MM – What do you search in an artist when you program?<\/strong>
\nLL – Due to the monographic character of some of the sections of the festival, we look for artists that fit\u00a0in the thematic axes that the festival has each year. And then, above all, we prioritize the originality of the artist, that possesses a unique and non-transferable universe. We do not like artists who simply copy success formulas. Sometimes, we also search a certain heterodoxy or peripheral character in the artist. This\u00a0always how the most interesting things happen.<\/p>\n

MM – Which are the global objectives of your festival?<\/strong>
\nLL – As it is a festival organized by an institution (the Diputaci\u00f3n Provincial of Huesca), the objectives are very diverse: to boost the territory, promote cultural diversity, promote Aragonese talent, discover new trends in music, get a musical program balanced and of quality, giving relevance above all to the cultural character of the event, attracting foreign and young audiences, spreading the new tendencies of roots music…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

MM – What are the most complicated or difficult issues to deal with in your festival?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLL\u00a0 – Due to the entry into force of the new Contracting Law, the main difficulty we are facing is the increasing bureaucracy and the increasing deadlines that are required for the hiring of artists, production teams, etc. Another important difficulty is that since the festival is located in a small town in the Pyrenees, it is much more difficult for us to travel, hospitality and even convince certain veteran artists (and therefore less predisposed to certain adventures) to come to play to a so recondite and, nevertheless, so beautiful place.<\/p>\n

MM – Which are currently the main challenges for this kind of cultural proposals like yours?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLL – The main challenge, without a doubt, is to survive two issues:
\n1) the increasing bureaucracy associated with holding a festival organized by a public entity (it is much more complicated than when the organizer of the festival is a private company) and
\n2) the “festivalitis”* that this Spain suffers and that makes the competition harder and harder. We must remember that when Pirineos Sur emerged, on the horizon there was almost no other festival in Spain, and I do not mean a world music festival, but of any kind of music. In 1992, Spain was a desert in terms of festivals.<\/p>\n

MM – In one sentence, summarize the reason\/s to go to your festival.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLL\u00a0– It is a friendly festival, fully enjoyable without stress, family oriented, with very attractive proposals that prioritize diversity above all. In short, it is THE festival of the quality of life.<\/p>\n

* This term refers to a overabundance of festivals in Spain.<\/p>\n
