Puglia Sounds is a project of the Puglia Region aimed at supporting music professionals and artists from Puglia. With its Puglia Sounds project, Puglia has become the first Italian region to consider music as an economic sector that boosts tourist attractiveness and generates jobs and wealth for the territory, and to devote human and financial resources to its development. Puglia Sounds has been working for years to structure and qualify the music sector, offering opportunities for growth and visibility.
The music sector consists of the creation and production of music, the performance and touring of music, and the internationalization and networking of music projects and players in the music supply chain. This way of looking at the music sector has led to the design and creation of specific calls for proposals. These are published annually and are open to all players in the music supply chain.
Every year, Puglia Sounds produces and hosts Medimex - International Festival & Music Conference. Launched in 2011 as a market fair with a full program of events, live performances and guest artists, in 2017 Medimex became an international festival with great live shows and a constantly updated calendar of events dedicated to the music industry and professional training.
Puglia Sounds, a toolkit designed to contribute to the development of the music industry in Puglia, is a project by Puglia Culture, the Regional Consortium for Arts and Culture.
