You get it from the Readers Digest.\u201d\u00a0 The Readers what?\u00a0 I made these things up as I passed along the way but to him how could I do this-successfully?\u00a0 What he reflected is the way we think of ourselves-we are too small- and that is the first problem we must attack in this business of promoting Waitikubuli music.<\/p>\n<p>We do not believe in ourselves enough.\u00a0 We are quite content in sending two athletes to the Olympics in London and a larger number of officials to watch over them and the President himself to watch them\u00a0\u00a0 knowing they are not good enough and must lose, but what is that?\u00a0 We are just a small island anyway and that to us is a good enough.\u00a0 We vote for those very much less educated or experienced than ourselves to run our affairs and then hide behind them with blinded support and even those who claim major qualifications do it too, all the while boasting of their mighty academic achievements.\u00a0 So what does this have to do with our music?\u00a0 It is the overall\u00a0\u00a0 attitude thing that creates a culture of low expectations.<\/p>\n<p>It is this small-mindedness why we diss down instead of embracing Diaspora returnees with different ideas for development and speak absurdities like, \u201cWhere were you all de time we dere in our misere.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Microsoft and Apple were started in garages and the most fascinating stories in the world are those that tell of rags to riches.\u00a0 No we are not too small, we just think small.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is not educational, geographical or totally political, it is perceptual.\u00a0 It is looking at white clouds and seeing sheep.\u00a0 Our artistes largely think that way as well showing no actual interest in coming together for the good of all in a small island and except we are ready for a change of head we will travel painfully slowly on the backs of turtles holding on for the bumpy ride yo-yoing between \u2018maybe we can but no we can\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Chronic small-mindedness is a mental disease.\u00a0 It is a self defeating mess.\u00a0 We think our way into it and we must think our way out of it.\u00a0 The hardest thing is to unlearn but that is the first thing we must do if we are to develop our music and cultural industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 We must target a market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my original document I stressed that we turn our attention to the immeasurable African market, and that increasingly the world has become a global village and the world market is no longer beyond our reach.\u00a0\u00a0 Technology has changed things and it destroyed the music industry as we have known it.\u00a0 No longer do people have to travel to stores to buy music or to find a foreign stage to perform for discovery, or have to warehouse great big packages of CDs awaiting sale, all you do is find the way to place it online- YouTube is now the international music performance stage for every genre, level of performer and especially for starters.\u00a0 In our world all you need is an online company that will do it all for you and there are a number of them; just Google.<\/p>\n<p>Through such companies you can become your own producer, and distributor.\u00a0\u00a0 MP3 bloggers are in the tens of thousands and if the MP3 bloggers embrace you then your grass roots promotion is on its way and can spread like wildfire.\u00a0 Music blogs have become an invaluable medium for new music to garner life changing exposure and by establishing personal connection with blogs that are relevant to your sound and genre you have the opportunity to reach vast unexpected audiences.\u00a0 We can reach the world without paying for an airline ticket.<\/p>\n<p>I wish that opportunity was there when the Gaylords existed, but it is here now.\u00a0 We should package our World Creole Music Festival for promotion, patenting\u00a0 and labeling.\u00a0 We\u00a0 must not only move to the next level, we must live in the next level\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. \u00a0Jump start the industry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That is where the government comes in by setting up a fund for moving the thing along.\u00a0 A Jump Starter program of funding for creative projects which will assist those who show promise of pushing our music beyond our personal hi-fi sets and car players\u00a0 starting the journey to make this incredible talent that sleeps among us a force in the world and a giant tool of tourism, and a source of employment for our youth.<\/p>\n<p>Do not think that this is all about it amen.\u00a0 This space cannot contain all the elements and aspects of it but it is a start, a general way to say later when we triumphantly look back, \u201cIn the beginning the music industry was void and without form, but now\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In this final part of the journey I will give a very brief summary of the paper of ideas on the way forward which I
