Midem is the acronym for Marché International du Disque et de l'Edition Musicale, which is organised annually in and around the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France. The trade show, which is billed as the leading international business event for the music ecosystem, has been held since 1967. Several thousand musicians, producers, agents, managers, lawyers, executives, entrepreneurs and journalists from around the globe regularly attend the event, which is usually held at the end of January or early February. While delegates from recording, artist management, and publishers network, new artists showcase their material. Also live music is on show in the evenings.
The event is developing like the industry and is now focused on the core music business (labels, publishers, rights societies and more), the technology sector (startups, developers and big tech companies), and brands and the agencies that represent them (for music and brand campaigns).
Midem provides a forum for business talks, political and legal discussions. It is a market where global distribution and music deals are sealed. It also is a platform for showcasing new artists, musical trends and music-related products.
Midem 2016's Label Ambassadors, five key industry executives who've be contributed to midemblog on hot topics like Blockchain, streaming and more in the run-up to 2016's edition, will share their views on how these and other essential trends developed over the past few days in Cannes.

There’s somethin’ I wanna say
Try and understand
There’s another in my life
He’s my lover and I’m your wife
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
I was too blind, blind to see
I never thought, never thought it could happen to me
Then I knew (Yeah) things had changed
‘Cause when we made love, you called out his name
So much tension
‘Cause we’re livin’ a lie by and by
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not to mention
Can we give it a try
The truth’s so, so very hard to say, ooh, baby
This pain I feel grows each day
Can we find a way
So much tension
‘Cause we’re livin’ a lie by and by
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not to mention
Can we give it a try
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
You, me and he
What we gonna do, baby
I don’t wanna let you go
