Santa Eulalia (Harbor): ![]() Guarana Sunday nights at Guarana have establshed themselves as a favorite 'insider' live music venue. The musicians are competent to excellent and the music ranges from Blues to Funky to Pop and Rock favorites.

SAN ANTONIO: JAZZ at VILA MERCEDES Across the street from the yacht club. See Video Great prices. No cover. No minimum. San Antonio BOULEVARD Outside covered garden with a small stage for varied live performances of Rock, pop and Jazz on weekends. Avenida Dr. Fleming,San Antonio Bay side HOW DID THE DJs AND DISCO MUSIC GET TO BE SO DOMINANT?
WHAT ALTERNATIVES TO THE DISCO CLUBS ARE THERE? Ans: When Spain entered the Common Market, it was required to agree to a series of laws already in force in the rest of Europe, regarding the terrible abuse if intellectual property in Spain. SGAE (SOCIEDAD GENERAL DE AUTORES Y EDITORES) the Society of Autors and editors, quickly discovered that the discoteques of Ibiza had been making huge amounts of money by playing music which was protected by international intellectual property rights treaties and copyrights, effectively, 'misappropriating' the property of composers and musicians from around the world without paying a cent in compensation. Their legal attacks on the discoteques was devastating, and resulted in huge fines for the offenders. The reaction of the clubs was very fast.......the death of almost all good pop, jazz and standards music, and the installation of the DJ's CD...created with computers, based on looped, pounding, monotonous rythm tracks, but which are available for free and devoid of intellectual creativity. There is almost never a melody associated with this type of music......nobody walks out of a disco club whistling or humming a melody he /she had been exposed to while inside. But, this type of music was (and is) the cheapest to produce, and avoided the infringement of composer's rights. The rest is publicity....hoopla.....millions of Euros on advertising and promotion of this or that DJ in this or that club or discoteque. |
