The Spanish Wave encourages national emerging bands interested in promoting their music inside and outside our borders to participate. In total there will be three artists selected to participate. All proposals interpreted in any language are welcome regardless of the country of origin or if they have already been signed by a record label.
After collecting all the material, a jury made up of top-level personalities in the music industryamong which are professional musicians, journalists, managers and producers will choose the three national bands who will join the virtual showcase of the 2023 edition of Marvin Gateway and will also have the opportunity to be part of the Marvin Festival program (Mexico) together with bands already announced as The Killer Swing, ZAZ, Sasha Velour o Lucybell.
The Spanish Wave will present the three selected bands through a virtual showcase the May 17 and 18 broadcast from the Moby Dick room (Madrid) and the transmission will be free of charge through the channels of Amazon Music in Mexico and the United States within Twitch, with presentation in both English and Spanish. The virtual showcase of the Marvin Gateway Festival can be seen at Amazon Music y Twitch.
The Spanish Wave is Live Nation Spain’s national talent internationalization project. An initiative that aims to help export emerging artists and bands from our country by participating in various fairs, showcase festivals and musical events with the presence of professionals from the sector. Working closely with Spanish recruitment agencies, AIE, Fundación SGAE or Instituto Cervantes, this year 2023 promises a true tsunami of Spanish talent spread all over the world.
