CIMA and the Canada Stand are pleased to announce the final line-up for the 3rd annual Canadian Blast @ MIDEM!
The MIDEM Canadian Blast opportunity also provides a second showcase under the banner of the MIDEM Fringe Festival. The prestigious event takes place on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 starting with the Fringe Festival matinee onsite at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, followed by the evening Canadian Blast at Morrison's in Cannes.
The final line-up of artists selected to showcase is:
- Art of Fresh (Northstarr Entertainment)
- Ian Kelly (Frilance Musique)
- Jill Barber (Outside Music)
- Maylee Todd (do right Music)
- Saidah Baba Talibah (CLK Creative Works)
The double performance shot gives each artist an extra window of exposure to showcase for the selected talent buyers and industry VIPs, and create a groundswell for the 2nd showcase later in the evening. Label and managers representing the artists can invite a strategic and targeted guest list to attend the first matinee, and provide the opportunity for each guest to extend additional invitations to other colleagues for the evening showcase.
