Indonesian music products finally took part in this year’s Frankfurt Musikmesse 2019, the biggest music industry expo which is being held yearly in Frankfurt, Germany. The Indonesian Board of Creative Industry (BEKRAF) supported the participation of the Indonesian companies in the Musikmesse. Guitanesia had the opportunity again to attend and cover the Musikmesse this year. Read also our posts from the Musikmesse last year :
The Indonesian companies attending the Musikmesse had their products together at one big booth where they can showcase their products and interact personally with potential buyers from all around the world. There were 11 companies attending the Musikmesse this year. Live music shows also helped to bring more people to come the booth, especially through live performance of Sasando and Djembe which to most people in Europe is not very known.
BEKRAF brought a special theme at this Musikmesse with the title IDentities | From The Hands That Awaken The Soul. A giant poster portraying a sasando and the title was put on the entrance of hall 3 where visitors could find the Indonesian booth.
Companies who attended the musikmesse this year were :
- Kuassa Teknika (Software dan Pro Audio)
- Genta Guitar
- Premiere Wood Manufacturing (Active dan Professional Speaker)
- Kyre Drums
- Indonesian Bamboo Community
- Sawoe (Alat Musik Berbahan Dasar Kayu)
- Sui Generis Straps
- X9 Pro Audio
- Blueberry Guitar (Custom Guitar)
- Seruni Audio (Hand-Built Microphone)
- Sasando Shop
The Frankfurt Musikmesse was attended by international companies in the music industry, musicians, and also local visitors who are interested for music. Many of whom tried the sasando, observing the handcrafted three-neck Blueberry Guitar, tested Seruni Microphone, and many more. The personal interaction is hoped to build trust and confidence in Indonesian products in the international market.
According to people we asked, the high quality of detailed craft and the considerably low price are the main selling points of the products. This year’s participation successfully introduces local Indonesian products internationally and was a statement for the international market.
Indonesian products, also from other industries, will soon to be found at other international expositions? Through the support of BEKRAF. BEKRAF was the only representative of country’s industry attending the messe, as most of the other countries companies are privately owned and do not receive support to the attend such event. BEKRAF also routinely organized a call for products from other industries to be selected and to be brought to international events such as the Frankfurt Musikmesse.
