Taiwan’s music scene has become more indie, more fragmented, more live, and more specialized. The Taiwan government is employing a series of initiatives at this week’s wholly-digital edition of Midem, the long-running music industry convention.
But their heydays may have been pre-digital, before China achieved superpower status and, certainly, pre-COVID.
But, with the changes, Taiwan’s music scene has become more indie, more fragmented, more live, and more specialized. Not every Taiwanese act is willing to embrace mainland Chinese strictures and bury their Taiwanese identity. Cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity are instead hallmarks of current Taiwan music.
Within Taiwan, the government has backed the Golden Melody Awards, the local equivalent of the Grammys. Around this has grown the Golden Melody Festival, which since 2014, has included conferences, masterclasses, workshops and business matching components. International music professionals have attended as speakers and dropped in on the showcases held by Taiwan artistes.
