Article | Las primeras grabaciones portuguesas para The Gramophone Company (1900-1908) y la formación de un mercado fonográfico en Portugal
João Silva, integrated researcher at INET-md, and member of the research group Historical and Cultural Studies in Music, recently published the article "Las primeras grabaciones portuguesas para The Gramophone Company (1900-1908) y la formación de un mercado fonográfico en Portugal", in Cuadernos de Música Iberoamericana.
Available in open access, this piece strives to study phonography in Portugal through The Gramophone Company; it examines the period between the 1900 recording sessions and the company’s first significant Portuguese catalogue, printed in December 1908. It traces the transformations undertaken in the discs and repertoires along with the rise of genre segmentation during the first decade of Portuguese commercial phonography, when a market for its products was established in the country.
