MUMBAI: The Bogota Music Market (BOmm) has opened registrations for all musicians, bands, singers, songwriters, producers and managers who wish to participate in this promotional and broadcasting platform. BOmm offers opportunities to buyers, producers, publishers, agencies, tours and festivals to discover the very latest in the Colombian music industry scene and reach agreements, alliances and business opportunities with the people involved.

This year, the BOmm hopes to exceed the new business drummed up during last year's version, which generated about USD 2.3 million in new opportunities for the industry through 2,000 scheduled appointments between buyers and participants. The 150 musical proposals that are preselected will have the opportunity to participate in the business conference which will host over 60 international and 40 local buyers.
Registration is free and will be open until 3 July at Bogota Music Market website. Artists must fill out a form and attach samples of their music and videos, so that a team of renowned curators can select proposals based on artistic quality, originality, modernity of the proposal, projection, commercial potential and presence in social networks.

"This year there are several new features in the BOmm. Mexico, which is the largest consumer of Colombian music, will be the guest of honour with renowned buyers and speakers. The Market traditionally takes place over two days but this year there will be a third day with a component that we are calling BOmm Labs, an academic forum for discussion of topics such as music journalism and crowd-funding for the music industry," says Bogota Music Market, director, Adriana Padilla.
