NRJ Eyes Up NewLondon Licenceby Emmanuel Legrand

PARIS - Although a trial twoyears ago wasn't fruitful,French radio group NRJ hashigh hopes that its secondattempt to apply for a radiolicence for the greater Londonarea will be crowned with suc-cess.

The difference this time isthat NRJ has learned fromexperience and has decided togo solo in its application for anFM radio licence. NRJ manag-ing director Alain Weill toldMusic & Media that the barri-ers that hindered the develop-ment of a continental euro-pean media group in the UKare no longer valid. "The ideathat a non -UK radio groupcould operate a British stationis no longer shocking," says

Weill. "Being an Europeanactor on the London scene isnow regarded as somethingnatural. Besides, NRJ has asignificant knowledge of theradio field and we don't needpartners." Weill says NRJ willannounce the station's boardof directors within the nexttwo weeks, and assures that itwill be "rich with British per-sonalities". In addition, hedoesn't rule out opening theshareholding to new partnersif the decision from the RadioAuthority is positive nextDecember. "There are a lot ofcandidates but we are reason-ably optimsitic," says Weill.

He goes on to stress thatbeing present in a market asimportant as London is ofstrategic interest for NRJ.

Nonetheless, for CliveCalder, chairman/CEO of theZomba Group, there is onething its new partners have incommon: entrepreneurial spir-it and a commitment to Zom-

ba's musical vision. BarryWeiss, US president of Zom-ba's Jive and Silvertone labels,adds, "We are a fiercely inde-pendent company. It is veryimportant to us to be able to

control our own destiny and towork with kindred spirits, peo-ple who share our vision. It isa very difficult thing toachieve with a large multi-national company of any sort."

Although full of praise forBMG's US and Canadian oper-ations, Calder feels that thetop management at the compa-ny did not really understandZomba's vision. So when theexisting deal with BMG cameto an end last month, Zombalooked to establish an interna-tional network of independentlicensees, underpinned by thenew deal internationallly withVirgin.

Although Apple will not

Last week I heard of yet anotherLennon & McCartney tribute album forthcoming on Blue Note,Strawberry Fields - Blue Note Sings Lennon & McCartney, (thesame label issued another tribute in 1991: The Music OfLennon & McCartney - Love Me Blue, featuring Stanley Jor-dan, Bobby McFerrin and Stanley Turrentine). There is noother band in history that is honoured with so many differenttribute albums as The Beatles. They come in all different sortsof styles and genres-salsa, reggae, jazz, classical, muzak,panflute, Beatles songs delivered by dogs, Beatles songs forbabies, and many more deviants.

Dance HeraldedIn Amsterdamby Maria Jimenez

AMSTERDAM - The first Amster-dam Dance Event took place inHolland's capital, October 17-19,and played host to more than700 international dance indus-try members, exceeding theorganisation's expectation of 550participants.

A music conference set up tocelebrate dance music andstrengthen its international net-work, the Amsterdam DanceEvent included an exhibition ofstands filled mainly by indepen-dent dance labels, a small newmedia demonstration room andpanel discussions. The ADE'sstrongest point, however, provedto be getting the right people toattend. Top dance industrymembers and media playersfrom across Europe and the UStook part in panel discussions,as well as general discussiongoing on in the NetworkingLounge. Subjects spanned from

cultivating the underground toincreasing market shares withan overall accent on dancemusic's broad spectrum andfuture.

Smaller, more focused confer-ences seem to be the trend thesedays. The Amsterdam DanceEvent, organised by Conamus,covered strictly dance music.The specific focus made it possi-ble to delve more deeply into thedifferent aspects of dance musicand allowed the nightime clubprogramming to examine thespan of dance subgenres.

The fact that the first editionof the Amsterdam Dance Eventattracted participants from asfar and wide as Argentina, theCzech Republic, Malaysia andJapan is a statement in itselfand bears witness to the powerand influence of dance musicaround the world today.

PRAGUE - American -basedbroadcast group MetromediaInternational (MMI) hasexpanded its Central and East-ern European portfolio byacquiring a majority stake inRadio 1, Prague's only alterna-tive radio station.

New Radio 1 general directorHank Loeser says he intends tosteer the station into a success-ful commercial environment byretaining the station's streetwiseimage and introducing aplaylist. After extensive marketresearch to determine whatpotential listeners want from thenew look Radio 1, changes areexpected to take effect early inthe new year.

Radio 1 was the Czech

Republic's first independent pri-vately -owned broadcaster. Itbegan transmitting in October1990 as a pirate station amidthe state radio and televisionmonopoly, and had a licencegranted in February 1991.

Although it enjoys widedomestic name recognition, lat-est audience figures from MediaProject assign Radio 1 with2.12% of listeners, one of thelowest in the Czech capital. Thestation has consistently failed toattract a wider audience becauseof the quality of its offerings fluc-tuate wildly.

Radio ContactRecaps With Sonyby Marc Maes

BRUSSELS - As a part of its com-munication strategy, the Bel-gian Radio Contact network isreleasing a series of six double -CDs with Sony Music, recapitu-lating the private network's six-teen years.

Titled Radio Contact Top 15,the series marks the first evermajor partnership between aleading private network and amultinational record company.Other collaborations weremainly media -sponsorshipdeals, with Radio Contact set-ting up campaigns on radio, TVand print media and SonyMusic handling the retail pro-motion side.

"The idea was to createsomething special both for theRadio Contact aficionados and a

broader audience," explainsJean Lou Bertin, head of pro-gramming and station managerwith the French language wingof Belgium's leading privatenetwork, "and that's why wehave included station -calls andID's on each CD, one for eachlanguage group."

The album series was com-piled by the network's PD'sBertin and Danny Debruyn anddepicts 15 hits per disc from1980 to the present. "It wasn'teasy indeed getting the neces-sary clearance for all of thetracks," comments Sony Musicstrategic marketing managerHenk Penseel, "but we havebeen able to make a very inter-esting package for the audienceas Danny Debruyn has writtenthe Radio Contact story fea-tured in each volume."

According to Loeser, the newRadio 1 will still be, "unique, butwe can make it more reliable. Itwill never be the dominant sta-tion in Prague, but it can be thecoolest. And it won't be hard totake some of the larger stations'listeners as they all sound thesame."

Among MMI's current Euro-pean holdings is Radio Seven inMoscow, Radio Katusha in StPetersburg, Radio Niko in theBlack sea city Sochi, the Latviancapital's Radio Skonto and RadioJuventus in Budapest. lVIMI isalso seeking stations in Turkey,Romania, Belarus, Kazakhstanand Uzbekistan.

AB Disques SwitchesDistribution To EMIby Emmanuel Legrand

PARIS - AB Disques, one ofFrance's leading independentlabels, has switched distribu-tion from BMG to EMI inFrance.

Gilbert Ohayon

Operational since October1, the deal is a sign of EMI'sincreasing aggressiveness inthe French market, developingboth through internal growth,with the recent signings ofmajor acts including CharlesAznavour, Michel Jonasz andSupertramp, and externalgrowth by attracting indielabels, such as AB, for distrib-ution.

Jean -Michel Fava, manag-ing director of AB Disques,says he chose EMI because,"it's a very assertive company,and I believe their market

share will grow in the comingyears."

AB signed with BMG threeyears ago under the formerpresident Bernard Carbonez.Sources say that Fava also hada good relationship with for-mer BMG vice-presidentClaude Amrane, who moved toEMI earlier this year where heis in charge of operations, andno longer had close ties withany members of the new teamat BMG.

In a statement, EMI presi-dent Gilbert Ohayon thankedAB for their trust is EMI. "Weare very happy to welcome oneof the most important indepen-dent French producers," saysOhayon, adding "managed bya music professional, Jean -Michel Fava, AB Disques is amajor actor in our industryand has produced manyartists, among them Dorothee,Helene, Les Muscles, Carlos,Christophe Rippert, AnthonyDupray, Manuela, LesJumelles, annette and MainBarriere. AB Disques has alsodiversified recently with thecreation of a new label, PAM(Pense a Moi), which focuseson artist development."

DJ Causes Storm AtDanmarks Radioby Charles Ferro

COPENHAGEN - A listenercalled Casper Christensen inthe studio to complain that hedid not listen to other people.Before she could finish, Chris-tensen hung up. The zany for-mer TV -show host was doing aweek-long guest stint at Dan:marks Radio's morning pro-gram, Strax.

The popular 09:10-12:00show is a theme -oriented,call/fax-in weekday feature.Christensen's guest appear-ance during the October 14-18holiday week was billed asStrax Fiction, with a photo ofhim in drag, posing as if UmaThurman from "Pulp Fiction".The shows certainly grabbedlisteners' attention, in fact theDanes have never heard any-thing like it.

"We plan to feature him onStrax every Friday untilChristmas," says Judith Skriv-er, Strax producer from DR'sP3. Another DR spokesmansaid that so many people

became indignant at the showsthat it caused a storm ofprotest phone calls.

Christensen told the pressthat he has been inspired bythe BBC's Chris Evans. To besure, Strax Fiction wasabsolute mayhem. Music &Media's ear in Copenhagen lis-tened to segments of theweek's programming, and wasinfuriated when Christensenplayed the first 30 seconds ofStairway to Heaven, and theninterrupted it with his motor -mouthed jabbering. But LedZeppelin was replaced byhumour from a man who isable to ride with a radio pro-gramme, taking his wit closeto the line of indignation, andproviding a fresh spark to theairwaves.

Skriver says the numberson Strax Fiction are not in yet,but judging by the media cov-erage and the writing on thewall, it's a hit. P3 listenershave something to look, for-ward to on Fridays betweennow and Christmas.

Salone Della Musica SignalsSteps Forward For Italyby Mark Dezzani

TURIN - October has been des-ignated "A Month For Music"by Italy's music industry, whoused the first edition of a newtrade fair, Salone Della Musi-ca, held in Turin October 10-15, to announce a series of ini-tiatives aimed at turningaround a long term decline inmusic sales. The measuresinclude a re -launch of the CDsingle format, new musicawards, and a review of CDprice structures.

The Italian governmentcontributed by offering to sup-port efforts to reduce sales tax(WA) on recorded music from16% to 4%, and announced atough new law to fight audio-visual piracy. Italy's ministerof culture and deputy primeminister Walter Veltroniannounced that the govern-ment intended to introduce anew law to support live musicby next February. "We areworking on a proposed lawwith the main objectives beingto support local authorities toconstruct or renovate suitablelive music venues. Existingdusty sports arenas with terri-ble acoustics are not ade-quate," said Veltroni addingthat more extensive musiceducation and facilities will beintroduced into schools.

Italy's IFPI recognisedindustry federation FIMIdeclared October a specialmusic month. To coincide withthe Salone Della Musica, thefive major multi -nationals(BMG, Warner Music, Poly -Gram, EMI and Sony) offered150 best selling titles at 20%discount throughout Italy.

The CD single format, untilnow used primarily as a pro-motional tool will be re-launched as a new format nextJanuary (Music & Media,October 5). PolyGram Italypresident Stefano Senardi saidthat FIMI's new single chartcompiled by the Nielsen mar-ket research company, whichwas to have been launched inTurin at the Salone DellaMusica, will now be launchedin January to coincide with theCD single format re -launch."We preferred to wait untilJanuary when the new CD sin-gle is launched before startingthe new singles chart," saysSenardi adding, "at themoment the majority of singlessold are vinyl 12" mixesthrough very specialist outlets,making it difficult to extrapo-late an accurate sample of sin-gles sales."

The new CD single willmarket three tracks in a card-board sleeve for L9.900 (app.US$6.5). "We will have a spe-cial CD single display inaround 200 outlets and hopethat the new format will showsignificant growth by nextMay," says Senardi. It is hopedthat the psychologically signif-icant price of less than L10.000 will promote impulsepurchasing, and reintroducethe music -buying habit inItaly where the annual percapita spending on records ofUS$10 is very low comparedwith other developed markets.

UmeA. NewSwedishPop Meccaby Keith Foster

STOCKHOLM - Umea, a smallcity far up in the very north ofSweden, has been selected asthe country's "Pop Town '97"by the national youth channelP3.

The pubcaster's awardmeans that Umefi will be thesite of live broadcasts through-out a special weekend at theend of January, and that thetown will be the focus of atten-tion for much of the channel'smusic reportage during 1997.

The award, which is in itssecond year, is designed tohighlight towns which havecreated an atmosphere wherepop music, both live and inclubs, can thrive. One of thecriteria is that the town inquestion should have producedsubstantial new talent of itsown.

In 1996 the first Pop Townhas been the southern univer-sity city of Lund, at the otherend of the country from Umefi.Lund is the home of several ofSweden's best young artists,including guitar pop kingsBrainpool.

Jamiroquai Travels High Into Album Chartby Menno Visser

AMSTERDAM - Although it's not theeasiest title to pronounce, Jamiroquai'ssingle Virtual Insanity conquers allboundaries in radio -land and is receivingautomatic airplay on numerous EHR,dance and rock -slanted formats through-out Europe. The third album TravellingWithout Moving, from which the single istaken, has registered impressivecrossborder sales too; recently, it reacheda number 3 position in Music & Media'sEuropean Top 100, the highest -chartingJamiroquai album so far.

A large part of the success can beattributed to Jamiroquai's clever andaccessible '70s -based jazz -dance sound.Another part, says Sony Music UKinternational marketing director JonFowler, is frontman Jay Kay's MTV -friendly appearance. "His charismamakes him a pop star in the true sense ofthe word. His collaboration with M -Beaton the track Do You Know Where You'reComing From [featured as a bonus trackon the album], warmed up the audiencefor a reintroduction, while his own singleput him firmly back on the map. Interms of promotion, the artist hasmatured and developed. We made ageographical plan based on strong areasto further strengthen his appeal."

The biggest market outside the UKfor Jamiroquai is France. Three weeksafter release, the album had alreadyreached gold status (200.000 copies sold).

They're massive intheir home country, huge in Denmarkand their album dislodged R.E.M.from the top of the charts inAustralia. They sold over a millioncopies of their debut album Forgiven,Not Forgotten (143/Lava/Atlantic)worldwide, and yet a year after itsrelease across most of Europe, thebuzz is only just beginning in severalterritories.

The quartet went professional in1990, honing their characteristicmusical style which Jim Corr, calls"traditional Irish pop -rock." They soonmet their manager John Hughes whowas getting musicians together forAlan Parker's "The Commitments"and one of the sisters, Andrea, starredin the film. "They're good musicians,they're friendly and the music is

global," says Hughes, explaining theirappeal. "It has rhythm, it has melodyand it's fresh. There's a Celtic trendgoing on everywhere at the moment."The group has spent the past 12 monthspromoting the record from NorthAmerica to Australia and Europe.

Although Forgiven, Not Forgotten issix times platinum at home, they arestill relatively unknown across the Irishsea. Their major European success storyhas been in Denmark, where the albumreached number 4 and went platinum.Their debut single Runaway went toDanish radio last November to coincidewith the band's support slot with CelineDion. Two subsequent singles receivedgood airplay and the new one Love ToLove You is to follow suit. It's the fourthsingle from the album which will bereleased all over Europe, althoughFrance has started working theprevious single The Right Time. So far,their Celtic sound has been well -received in France. According to WarnerMusic Europe marketing director of US

labels, Andy Murray, airplay hasdefinitely generated sales. He addsthat radio has also been supportivein Germany, Sweden, Spain, Italyand more recently Holland, whereregional radio ran a promotion inco-operation with retailers at theend of September around thesingle's release. Acoustic sessionshave also proved popular andMurray sees the quartet play live

for stations as an important part oftheir promotional activities.

Radio's next material from theCorrs will be a promo -only mini -album of live tracks recorded inDenmark by Danmarks Radio P3, tobe released in November. As for thesecond album, John Hughes says itwill be recorded in the US with DavidFoster producing half of it, whileJagged Little Pill producer GlenBallard will take care of the rest.

the European launch of the album. "Asyou might know, Jay Kay is very muchinvolved with Formula One racing. Wecame up with the idea of launching thealbum at the day of the Italian FormulaOne races in Monza. It was a great day,"Boraso remembers, "but logistically notso easy to organise. About 200.000spectators were following the races. Weinvited about 100 guests to listen to thealbum in the morning and watch theraces together with Jamiroquai in theafternoon. Surprisingly, Jay Kay'sfavourite car brand won the races!"Jamiroquai's European tour starts onNovember 15 and will bring the band toHolland, Belgium, Germany, Denmark,Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain.Although Sweden is not included in thetour schedule, Mattias Arwidson, head ofmusic at Swedish Radio FM 104.3/Norkoping thinks direct access to theartist is not so vital anymore. "Recentcall -outs to our audience have taught usthat they don't have the patience tolisten to interviews anymore. What'smore important for programming thesingle is that it has proven to put a broadrange of our listeners in a good mood."

6 Underground -Clean Up/Virgin a/d/ehr/acePRODUCERS: Line Of Flight, Jim AbbissFamous remixer Nellee Hooper cer-tainly used all 48 tracks when mixingthese British triphoppers' new single.At least six underground genres arepresent in the layers he has construct-ed. The female vocals of Kelli Daytoncombine beautifully with the moodyacoustic guitars. The second part ofthis single collection consists of remixesby Nellee Hooper and Fila Brazillia.

BLUE HEAVENDreaming In The Rain - Dream Factory d/ehr/ace

PRODUCER: Huib SchippersFollowing the success of Robert Miles,more dreamhouse producers start takingtheir chances. This one -note tune givesthe impression that anyone can play itafter one piano lesson. The single -versionis more suitable for ACE, while the alter-native radio -version with a stronger beatis recommended for ERR.

CROWDED HOUSEDen't Dream It's Over- Capitol/EMI ehr/acePRODUCER: Mitchell FroomFamous for their Beatlesque radio -friend-liness, the sadly disbanded CrowdedHouse has produced a rock ballad. Nowrecorded with slighty more organ thanthe original.

BURGER LARS DIETRICHSexy Eis - East West/Warner ehr/acePRODUCER: Stefan RaabRapping in your own language over an'70s -disco has become extremely popular.This German comedian raps about sexyicecream with bananas, tongue firmly incheek. The dripping Leck Mich mix hasan even more sexy backing. Funny, evenif you don't understand any German.

E -TYPECalling Your Name - Stockholm d/ehrPRODUCERS: Kristian Lundin, E -TypeThe Swedish E -Type comes up with amidtempo dance track. The original radioedit is reminiscent of Ace Of Base, where-as The Antiloop Garage radio edit deliv-ers more drive.

FUN FACTORYI Love You-Regular/Marlboro Music ehr/acePRODUCERS: Team 33As we get closer to Christmas, the time isapproaching to show your real feelings.

Songs like this seem to take advantage ofthat. Fun Factory slow down for this rapballad. The choir sings so sweet and thetune is so easy to sing along with thatradio simply has to love it.

MN8Dreaming - 1st Avenue/Columbia ehr/acePRODUCERS: Dennis Charles, Ronnie Wilson

When you're dreaming about somebodylovely, what will you hear? Yes, violins,maybe some little guitar -twangs and ofcourse a choir. That's exactly what thearrangement of this R&B ballad providesyou with. Light the candles, please.

NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCEGarrkine - Boucherie/PIAS a/rPRODUCER: not listedWho's Garrkine? After hearing the singlefrom these French grungers this questioncomes to mind. After the Soundgarden-like riffs in the beginning, the interestingtape loops of arabic sounds give it a fresh,original sound.

ALEXANDER O'NEALLet's Get Together- One World/EMI d/ehr/acePRODUCER: not listedMr. O'Neal is back on the spot. In theintro he attempts to be Barry White, butthe rest is sung on a higher pitch. Thissmooth walking -tempo R&B track leavesyou in a happy mood. Also available is aseperate second single with remixes.

PRAGA KHANJazz Trippin' - Antler Subway/PIAS d/ehrPRODUCERS: Praga Khan, Oliver AdamsJudging solely on the intro, you mightthink just another eurodance tune. Butthen comes the surprise! Praga Khan pre-sents a bleeping jazzy acid track withlaidback grooves and a trumpet -solo. ThisBelgian trip takes commercial dance littlefurther.

SLINGBACKSAll Pop, No Star- Virgin a/r/ehrPRODUCER: Mitch EasterHow to become a popstar? Use T -Rexdrumclaps, a slightly rough but enthusi-astic female voice and add some violins inthe background. Irish indierockers Sling-backs do the job very well.

K'S CHOICE

Wait- Double T/Sony a/r/ehr/acePRODUCER: Jean BlauteBelgian's pride offers yet another singlefrom the successful album Paradise InMe. This guitar ballad gives a lot of roomto the beautiful voice of Sarah Bettens. Inthe second part of the song a harmonicais added. Five pleasant minutes of wait-ing.

AlbumsBABYBIRDUgly Beautiful - Echo/MCA a/r/ehrPRODUCERS: Stephen Jones, Steve PowerBefore entering the charts, British singerBabybird released four lo-fi albums inthe space of nine months. In the mean-time he formed a band to mainly coverhis own songs. His new arrangementsmay sound kitsch to alternative ears, butsuitable for more sophisticated listeners.Babybird offers utterly funny lyrics astitles like Jesus Is My Girfriend and TooHandsome To Be Homeless show. Andlet's not forget the unbelievable artwork.See this album as a revenge from some-body who was rejected by the labels forhis songs being hookless.

THE BEATLESAnthology 3- Apple/EMI all formatsPRODUCER: George MartinThe final chapter in the never-endingBeatles -saga has arrived this week. Andthe material is of outstanding quality: anunadorned, R&B version of I'm So Tired;a slower take of Helter Skelter; the soloacoustic performance by George of WhileMy Guitar Gently Weeps, already widelybootlegged; the haunting acapella back-ing track of Because; a sparkling Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da; and George's obsessiveNot Guilty. As usual, well annotated anda feast for any radio programmer with apassing interest in the roots of popularmusic.

KENNY GThe Moment- Arista ace/ehrPRODUCERS: Kenny G, Walter Afanasieff, Babyface

Programmers in need of warm andromantic sounds to add extra sparkle totheir late -night shows, should stop here.Kenny G's sultry and flawless sopranosax warms up the airwaves with suchinstrumental tracks as Havana, TheMoment and Northern Lights. ACE -lean-ing ERR programmers could get awaywith the sensual That Somebody WasYou, featuring labelmate Toni Braxtonas well as the slow -stepping Everytime IClose My Eyes, with Babyface taking thelead vocal.

MICHAEL KATONBustin' Up The Joint -Live! - Provogue a/rPRODUCER: Karl ArmstrongSome musicians you rarely ever hear onradio, but they might have been playingin small clubs for years. This boogiemanfrom the small town of Hell, USA, isquite an attraction on the live circuit. Onhis Fender Stratocaster, he manages toconquer every audience with his raw andwild blues rock. This record shows a goodexample of a night out with MichaelKaton. Recorded live at Howard's Clubin Ohio without any overdubs, Rip ItHard and the newly written exciting bal-ladTwo Angels Flyin' come highly recom-mended.

NUTNut- SonyPRODUCERS: Nut, PeteIn the expanding market of femalesinger -songwriters there's still room for

a/ehr/ace

real talent. This British youngsterbreathes fresh air into arranging herself -penned songs. Maybe because she'smainly influenced by jazz -singers. Lyri-cally she thinks a lot about being a boy.Try the fresh medium -tempo songsGiant and Pleased out for yourself andgo nuts.

SKUNK ANANSIEStoosh - One Little Indian/Virgin a/r/ehrPRODUCER: G.G.GarthFrontwoman Skin of explosive rockersSkunk Anansie has definitely found herplace in the rock world. In the openingtrack of this second album, she kicks hercritics right in the face with the high-octane Yes, It's Fucking Political. Butshe is also willing to show her soft side inthe violin -dripped ballad Infidelity. Inbetween she crawls, rocks and soothes.The second part of the album is moreexperimental. Blondie could have sungthe disco -influenced rock song Twisted,while Brazen is classical soul. The deli-cate production makes this a far moreradio -friendly album than its predeces-sor.

WILCOBeing There - Reprise a/r/acePRODUCERS: Wilco

Wilco is the project of ex -Uncle Tupelo'sJeff Tweedy. The first album by this ex -country punkrocker, AM., receivedbroad critical acclaim. Tweedy doesn'tmind paying tribute to his influences, sohe wrote the Stones -pastiche (Monday),a Beach Boys -like song (Outta Mind) anda lot of other historical powerhouses.Definitely an ambitious high -qualitydouble album with eighteen shortishtracks.

dEUS

In A Bar, Under The Sea - Bang/Island airPRODUCER: Eric Drew FeldmanAlso appearing in other Belgiangroups, the members of dEUS have abroad influence in the development ofthe burgeoning Belgian rock scene.dEUS are looking for a hybrid betweenjazz and pop. Every time you listen toit, you discover new sounds. However,dEUS' times are not radio -unfriendly.The mystic ballad Serpentine or thesimple piano song Disappointed In TheSun are easy step-ups to the arty worldof dEUS. Or check out the nightclub -like Supermarketsong, with cameo -appearance of saxophonist Dana Colleyof Morphine. dEUS have delivered amajor contribution to the innovation ofrock music.

Creating AWin/Win/WinSituationby Vincent Turco

RADIO SALESIn previous articles partnershipsbetween radio and advertisers in Bel-gium and Germany were examined.Good coordination between the pro-gramming department, sales and theadvertiser can result in successfulcampaigns and a win/win/ win effect.

As a salesperson or sales manager,how many times have you gone to yourprogramming and promotion depart-ment with an idea that you know willnot be put on the air? It is the natureof sales people to try and say yes toevery clients request to air a promo-tion on the radio. But we do this with-out thinking first about the overallgoals of the programme director andpromotion department. If salespeoplefirst defined their position as well astheir advertiser's in relation to theprogramming department, many con-flicts could be avoided.

Programming and promotionreceive their mandate from the man-aging director of the station. Some ofthe main goals are to: Increase ratings Create listener loyalty Develop a "brand" for the radio

productIn Italy, network RTL 102.5 Hit Radioinstructs its salespeople to obtain adetailed brief from the advertiser priorto presenting an idea to promotion andprogramming staff. They have foundthat by communicating programming'sobjectives to sales, it's easier to createthe type of on -the -air "value-added"promotion targeted to the advertiser'sstrategic marketing goals. The salesdepartment already has the interestsof the programming department inmind because they know the station'sposition in the Italian market and howits listeners identify with theirfavourite station. Programming knowsthat the audience ratings will grow ifthey include the following elements onair: Audience participation Interesting and exciting games A fun and entertaining listening

environmentIn one case RTL 102.5 approached

Nestle to see if the station could helpthem with a new product launch. In1994 Nestle introduced "CappuccinoNescafe," an instant hot beverageavailable in individual powdered serv-ings. The target audience for the cam-paign on RTL 102.5 was adults 18-35.Nestle wanted to enhance the spotcampaign with an on -air promotion inorder to achieve the following objec-tives:

1) Communicate to a younger targetaudience the on -going consumer promo-tion called "Fly away on vacation withCappuccino Nescafe."2) Create and stimulate use and pur-chase of the product by describing thetaste of the product along with its conve-nience-it's quick and easy to use. Itshould be noted that in Italy people pre-fer to drink cappuccino in a café or coffeebar, so the positioning statement used inthe campaign was, "The cappuccino thatyou can prepare at home just like theone you drink in the bar!"

Radio For MarketingTasting or sampling the product wasnecessary to reinforce the advertisingmessage and stimulate sales. Here wecan see the power of radio used as a mar-keting tool to advertisers. Not only canthe radio commercial be used to create abrand, but it also can incorporate mar-keting techniques like redemption andsampling for advertisers.

The actual on -air promotion involveslisteners being invited to call in to guessa "mystery nation." The prize is a "Cap-puccino Card" and a Nescafe cappuccinosample product. Every day the DJ takesthe listeners to a different "mystery"country where they can use their card.The listeners are advised not to callunless they are willing to have some fun.The DJ instructs the caller to imitatesounds such as airplanes landing andtaking off, flamenco dancing, castanets,ocean noises and the like, while clues aregiven to the identity of the mysteriouscountry they are about to visit.

The station benefitted a great dealfrom the promotion. Listeners wereentertained and the advertiser receivednumerous promotional spots. Nescafewas able to get its product sampled bytheir target audience through the cam-paign. Through sampling the product,the advertiser was attempting to estab-lish its "brand" in the Italian market.

Theatre Of MindIn another campaign, RTL 102.5 usedradio's "theatre of the mind" qualities tohelp a brand create a line extension.Aperol "Soda" was introduced by theBarbero company in Italy in 1995, andwanted to use radio to achieve the fol-lowing goals: Increased awareness of the product Expanding the consumer base to ayounger target

Aperol, a traditional alcoholic aperi-tif, is a direct competitor with Campariin Italy. Aperol Soda is a pre -mixed bev-erage with only a 3% alcohol content,which the company wanted to position asboth a healthy drink and a thirstquencher.

MUSIC MEDIA NOVEMBER 2, 1996AmericanRadioHistory.Com

M & M R ADIO MAKING WAVESAt designated "aperitif' times, 12:00

and 19:00, RTL 102.5 created the "AperolSoda Meeting At The Bar." Listeners aretransported daily into an imaginary barwhere they are invited to call in to "drink"Aperol Soda along with the DJ on the air.As in the case of Nescafe, the radio stationattempts to create a "real" bar with soundeffects. During the call, the DJ promotesthe various qualities of the product as hedrinks it. At the end of the meeting in the"bar," he offers the caller the opportunityto invite someone to drink a real AperolSoda in a real bar in the caller's hometown.

The example illustrates a classic caseof image building by the advertiser. Thefact that you are inviting someone todrink the product reinforces the desiredadvertising message which is that AperolSoda is: A good drink in social settings Fun to drink Young and modern Healthy-with low alcohol content

Radio, Brand LoyaltyThe on air "virtual bar" also reinforcesthe atmosphere created by the accom-panying TV campaign in which youngpeople are seen drinking the product,socialising and having fun in a bar set-ting. Radio can be seen as the impor-tant connection to the "visual transfer"of the TV campaign. The interactivepromotion is able to create the sensa-tion in the mind of the listener that he

or she is actually drinking and enjoyingthe product.

The image of a product is usually seenby marketers as being that "intangible"element which is necessary to create thebrand. We buy the product because of theway it makes us feel as opposed to suchtangible aspects as taste and smell. Weassociate brand loyalty with the productwhich is able to communicate this feelingbetter than its competitors. The DJ'sstrong association with RTL 102.5's lis-tening audience also helped Aperol Sodabreak through to achieve an image asso-ciation. The listener reasons, "If myfavourite DJ likes Aperol Soda thenmaybe I should try it also." Or moredirectly, "I want to feel as good as the DJwho is drinking Aperol Soda."

What we can learn from these exam-ples is that when we as radio marketersstudy our position together with ouradvertisers and programming depart-ment, we can achieve a win/win/win situ-ation where all participants receive bene-fits from the radio campaign andpromotion.

Iberic Rhythms SwinOn World StageThe term 'world music' defines an attitude asmuch as it describes a genre. An attitude on thepart of consumers to move outside the conventionallimits of western pop, and on the part of musiciansand producers to look beyond those limits for theirartistic inspiration.by Terry Berne

HEN viewed fromthis perspective, theterm surmounts therather narrow defini-tion of ethnic or folk

music from outside the western tra-dition. As more attention is paid toworld music by all sectors of theindustry, from the media to festivalpromoters, record companies andretailers, the genre itself is evolv-ing, resulting in higher quality pro-ductions and more interesting col-laborations.

Spain is one of the richest ofEuropean territories, offering avariety of musical styles deeplyrooted in local traditions, whichare having an increasing influenceon pop music everywhere. In thisregard, two of the year's mostawaited albums, Temporal fromRadio Tarifa and Santiago fromthe Chieftains (both BMG) recastvery different Spanish musical tra-ditions into exciting contemporaryform.

Radio Tarifa's 1993 debut,Rumba Argelina was one of themost acclaimed albums withinworld music circles. Temporal con-tinues the group's exploration andexpansion of Span-ish music and itsMediterraneansources, addingmodern elementsto medieval compo-sitions and mixinginstruments likethe electric bass,accordion and sax-ophone with tradi-tional ones like thecane flute and ahost of Arab and Turkish stringinstruments and percussion. Longforgotten Iberian popular songs,sephardic tunes, Greek modes,Saharan influences and flamencogive rise to a fascinating and infec-tious contemporary sound whichhas made the group a particularlypopular draw on its recent Euro-pean tours.

Reed player, multi -instrumen-talist and Radio Tarifa memberJavier Paxarino uses some ofthese same elements to extraordi-nary effect on his Perihelion(Nuba), which approaches the

Radio Tarifa (BMG)

material from a more personal,experimental standpoint.

Galician Celtic RootsThe Celtic music of Galicia, onSpain's northwest coast, is theinspiration for the Chieftains' San-tiago, featuring native CarlosNunez on the gaita, or Galicianbagpipes, as well as performancesby Ry Cooder, Eliot Fisk, LindaRonstadt and Los Lobos. Thealbum not only celebrates Galicia'sCeltic roots, but the influence ofGalician emigrants on the music ofthe new world. Nunez has travelledextensively with the Chieftains, andhis own album, with help in turnfrom the Chieftains and Cooder,will be released internationallyearly next year.

The Galician connection hasbeen mined for years by Spain'sown Milladoiro whose new doubleCD, As Fadas De Estrano Nome,recorded live in Buenos Aires, wasrecently released by Barcelonaindie Discmedi. The first cut onSantiago is called Txalaparta afterthe evocative Basque percussioninstrument which is also highlight-ed on composer Tomas SanMiguel's beautiful and intriguing

homage to theBasque regionLezao (NuevosMedios), which fea-tures JavierPaxarifto, andKepa Junkera-who also plays onSantiago-on triki-tixa, or box accor-dion. Further Celticbloodlines can betraced on Basque

trio Him Truku's more tradition-al debut on Nuevos Medios, whichincludes appearances by renownedUK fiddlers Eliza Carthy andNancy Kerr.

Afro -Portuguese WindThe other Iberian culture which isgenerating a great deal of musicalactivity of late is Portugal's, and itsAfro -Portuguese and Brazilianbrethren. Lisbon, Salvador daBahia and Luanda are the verticesof a triangle stretching across theAtlantic Ocean. Luso Mania (Piran-

H

Oumou Sangare (World Circuit)

ha) is the name of a brilliant newcollection recorded live in the sum-mer of 1995 at Berlin's Heimat-Klange Festival which presentsartists from throughout this flour-ishing musical matrix. Gumbe,forro, morna-three styles, threedifferent countries-united by acommon heritage. Brazilians Mar-gareth Menezes and accordionistOswaldinho, Angola's Bonga andWaldemar Bastos (familiar to lis-teners of last year's Luaka Bop com-pilation Telling Stories To The Sea),and violinist Agostinho de Pina ofthe Cape Verde Islands are just afew of the dozens of musicians whocontribute to this Portuguese gar-den of delights.

Portugal's own national musicalstyle is known as fado, and PauloBraganca is a young fado singerintent on renovating the melan-choly form by adding far-flungrhythmic and melodic elementssuch as hip hop or bossa nova,imbuing it with a contemporary,urban edge. He has alreadyenjoyed wide success in Portugal,and his upcoming Luaka Boprelease, slated for November, willdeservedly introduce him to awider audience.

But it's Brazil's rich multitudeof styles which has provided theworld with the most popular andinfluential Portuguese inflectedmusic, from bossa nova to lamba-da, samba to the more explicitlyAfrican sounds of Bahia. Hemi-sphere, EMI's world music label,has many discs dedicated to docu-menting this abundant heritage,such as Yele Brazil, a gathering ofBahia's best, and the latest,Samba, an impeccable anthology ofsome of the genre's best knownartists, including Ivan Lins, ElisRegina, Djavan, and Clara Nunez.The late Nunez, one of samba'sgreatest stars, is the focus ofanother Hemisphere release, ComVida, an enthralling tribute in theform of a series of duets, created inthe studio after her death, with thelikes of Chico Buarque, GilbertoGil, Milton Nascimento and JoaoBosco.

Crammed Disc's Moleque DeRua, a gritty musical reflection oflife in the streets of Brazil's cities

from a group composed of street-wise kids who sing of their ownpoverty, social -exclusion and sur-vival, spent months heading theWorld Music Charts Europe lastyear. Although it can hardly becalled a world music album,Verve's collaboration with the RedHot Organization, Red Hot & Rio,with participation from Brazilianmusicians like Astrud Gilberto,Flora Purim, and Caetano Velosoteamed with international popstars such as George Michael,Sting, Ryuichi Sakamoto, CrystalWaters and David Byrne, demon-strates the interest Portuguesemusic is currently engendering.

Ethno-Coloured RockEthno Punk, Around The WorldWith Attitude is another unusualand vibrant compilation from Hemi-sphere, a sampling of rootsy rockfrom as far afield as Japan (ParshaClub), China (Ciu Jian), and Brazil(Paralamas Do Sucesso), as well ascloser to home, with cuts fromItaly's colorful Mau Mau, Sweden'sDen Fule, France's Mano Negra,Spain's Ciudad Jardin and Poland'sRaz, Dwa, Trzy, among others.Scotland's Shooglenifty will alsoappear on the upcoming Folk 'N'Hell collection covering thatregion's exciting new alternativefolk/rock scene.

Afro -Celtic To Afro BeatCeltic music's influence and inspi-ration is only comparable to that ofAfrica. Now the Afro Celt SoundSystem (Real World) means tomerge them. It is less ambient andmore rhythmic than this summer'sNusrat Fateh Ali Khan albumNight Song, which was also a hit forthe label. Lightly textured keyboardwashes frame a dialogue betweenthe celtic harp and a talking drum,or the kora and uilleann pipes.Dance rhythms alternate withreels, and members of Senegalesesuperstar Baaba Maal's band jamwith Shooglenifty's self -described"hypnofunkadelia." This is an evolv-ing project so we can expect more inthe future.

The other bright star in this sea-son's world music firmament isMalian singer Oumou Sangare'sterrific new album Worotan (WorldCircuit) currently number 1 on theWorld Music Charts Europe. Faith-ful both to her homeland and herhumanist principles, this is hermost consistent album to date. Hervoice is capable of both soaringenergy and imploring sadness,aided by affecting backup vocals,fabulous guitar playing, and thehelp of reedman Pee Wee Ellis, allwrapped in pristine productionwhich captures all the subtle forceof Sangare's voice. Upcoming fromthe label is singer/composerCheikh Lo's Ne La Thiass, thefirst international release by Yous-sou N'Dour's Jololi label. HisNovember 17 concert in Colognewill be broadcast live by WDR.
