He said that EGREM has a new proposal consisting in a digital stand, in which, from a novel system of applications to reproduce music, people will have access to the songs and lyrics of their preference.

Likewise, with the collaboration of the ETECSA Telecommunications Company and DESOFT National Software Company, it will be possible to download award-winning albums in previous editions of the contest, he added.

Escalona highlighted the presentation at the Cubadisco event of a project which, initiated last June and headed by the Ministry of Culture and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, with the support of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), will contribute to promote Cuban music.

The project will also conduct research that will provide an information and analysis system to evaluate the performance of Cuban music, as well as its national and international impact.

Sponsored by the Cuban Institute of Music, the Cubadisco Awards have promoted exchange among theorists, creators and executives linked to the music world, who come together every year to recognize talent and think about new ways of development and promotion of this artistic aspect.
