Música para el desarrollo sostenible: el caso de Bolivia
Abstract
A pesar de la gran diversidad y riqueza que caracteriza a la música boliviana, la percepción general es que la industria musical boliviana es incipiente y sufre de grandes carencias que afectan su capacidad de crear y trascender dentro y fuera de sus fronteras. La falta de datos estadísticos y estudios de línea de base sobre este sector dificulta el análisis científico de su situación y la correspondiente generación de recomendaciones para potenciarlo. Mediante un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo pionero, basado en datos estadísticos e información relevante de fuentes nacionales e internacionales, el presente estudio busca ofrecer una descripción más objetiva de la situación pre-pandemia del profesional boliviano de la música y de la industria musical en Bolivia en su conjunto. A partir de dicho análisis, propone los lineamientos de un Plan Nacional de Música para el Desarrollo en Bolivia, instrumento de política pública valioso en un contexto en el que un número creciente de países del mundo vienen asimilado con éxito los conceptos de "economía naranja" e "industrias creativas".
Despite the diversity and richness that characterizes Bolivian music, the general perception is that its music industry is incipient and suffers from great deficiencies that affect its ability to create and transcend within and outside the country´s borders. The lack of statistical data and baseline studies affect the ability to analyse its current situation and, hence, to offer recommendations to strengthen it. Through a novel quantitative and qualitative analysis, based on statistical data and relevant information from national and international sources, this study seeks to offer a more objective description of the pre-pandemic situation of the Bolivian music professional and the country´s music industry. Based upon this analysis, the study proposes the guidelines of a National Music for Development Plan in Bolivia, a useful instrument of public policy in this field, in a context where most countries around the world are making significant progress along the so-called "orange economy" and "creative industry" initiatives.
