global reggae charts insight me a Danakil classic, with high sales in shops and in digital stores. When structural changes happened like that, it’s better to try to use these changes, and to think about how it can be profitable for you, instead of trying to fight against these changes. Some big major labels or distributors tried to struggle against these changes: they lost their time and money, and missed the strategic bend that was occurring at this time. FR: Imagine a new record label with some good productions ready to be released. What would you advise them to start with? MD: You must be original! And try to find ways to go off of the path, if you want to meet success. I don’t want to go into a classic marketing lesson, however, the first step is always to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of our projects, of our organization. Baco Records Location: Bordeaux, France founded: 2011 Artists: Danakil, Protoje, Nattali Rize, Havana Meets Kingston, Biga*Ranx, Yaniss Odua, ... www.bacorecords.fr www.facebook.com/bacorecords www.twitter.com/bacorecords www.youtube.com/bacorecords country, probably because of the conscious and revolutionary messages it delivers. With no huge visibility, it’s always difficult to make our economic model profitable. The sales are low. And bands and labels mainly live because this music is very popular, and people come to attend the shows. The way you choose your partners is also very important, especially when you know that there are many “foolish” entities and characters in our business! Finding people in who you can trust is very important for the stability of your business. However, for me, the main idea is: Do It By Yourself whenever it’s possible. You will learn new things, meet new people, and it will push you to understand more business features, and this is very exciting! We must have fun in our day-to-day work! And it never happens when you are in a day-to-day routine: you must think every day of which new things can be done to improve your label, stimulate your team and partners, etc. FR: As Baco Records is a reggae label, do you see any specific advantages or disadvantages coming with the genre? The main advantage is that we build a strong audience and community, who are very faithful. People haven’t discovered our projects on TV. We never had national exposure. It’s just word of mouth, live meetings, real experiences of different human beings that meet during the time of a show. This makes the relationship between bands and fans very strong. When you see a singer appear on a national TV talent show for the first time, even if he won it, it’s highly likely that no one will be remembering him 2 months after the TV show broadcast. Our bands have been on the road for years now. This is a slow development, but it’s a real and sincere one. People won’t leave the band from one day to another. They identified themselves with the band. The band represents something important for them, just as they are important for the band. That is the beauty of our reggae music: bands and fans are dependent each other. MD: Haha! I only see disadvantages! This music is highly boycotted by mainstream media, in every FR: Thank you so much for your time, and good luck with your future projects and the studio. global reggae charts | issue 12 /april 2018 6
