The president of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón , stated this Thursday that the subject of music will no longer be a "mary" in compulsory secondary education and will be a mandatory subject starting next year to continue "training our young people."
According to Mazón, what has happened these years with the subject of music is "a mistake" and next year this subject "will fully return to compulsory secondary education so that we continue training our young people" and "understanding that is obligatory and not a "mary" that can be chosen or not.
This, he explained, "will be launched next year" and "working very closely with this ecosystem that is mature and has to continue growing to find its own space that has been earned by right to share with other communities and even countries.
Mazón made these statements in Castelló at the inauguration of the Trovam Music Fair, which begins today at the Auditori and Palau de Congresos, in which he joked with the mayor, Begoña Carrasco, by stating: "I don't know if you have one DJ section, but it could star the mayor.
Representatives from the Department of Culture, the Provincial Council and other institutions also attended the inauguration to "demonstrate, clarify and ratify our full support for this event for its history, its participants and for the support of Valencian music and creation, and talent, as well as that industry that continues to fight, not always in the best conditions," said the president.
Mazón has indicated that as "a frustrated musician and singer" in his case, "not due to lack of support from the sector but due to an evident lack of quality", he has come to Castelló to "stand in solidarity" with the musicians because they are in a moment , he said, "very complicated."
For the president, for there to be a fabric of SMEs in the production, editing and publishing industries "there must be talent, criticism, musicians and music."
The fact that the Fira Trovam is held in Castellón and that "despite the difficulties it continues to raise the blinds", "demonstrates that perhaps of all the autonomies the most musical is ours", although, Mazón has pointed out, "perhaps I play with Andalusia".
On the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Nino Bravo , he recalled that when he was president of the Alicante Provincial Council, "a great tribute was also paid to Camilo Sesto", and this, he said, "means that we have to continue paying tribute to our musicians, to the great ones and to those who are struggling to get out".
From the industry and the composition, the head of the Consell has pointed out, "we must show the world that there is life beyond Operación Triunfo, La Voz, the large television formats because there is a whole small industry with a lot of talent fighting to emerge with ability to leave."
Something that "is difficult due to the environment and the competition and it is a very convoluted industry" but, "talent has to come out and if it is not in Castellón and the Community, where will it come out."
The president has insisted on the need to support Valencian talent "not only with public money but with presence, opening doors and promoting spaces where large industry can participate and allow us all to grow."
In this community, the "most musical in Spain", he reiterated, "without a doubt we have a lot of work to do", first of all supporting this event, but "we have to continue working and think about fiscal strategies, the elimination of bureaucracy, processing on digital platforms and cultivating our musical roots".
