The group of professional and novice musicians, cultural associations (Musicarte, Rock Action Sur, Local Akople, House of Blues) owners of local small and medium capacity and the public concurrent with the rest of the undersigned, music fans live, exposes a serious problem affecting the city of El Puerto de Santa Maria: More and more frequent intervention by the authorities to suspend local concerts small and medium capacity, without being clear and transparent criteria for conducting these restrictions, and without contemplating any legal option to seek permission for such regular rooms. The absence of municipal regulation, coupled with the ambiguities of the Andalusian catalog shows have generated plenty of room for uncertainty and arbitrariness of power público.Tampoco appear to affect the activity of flamenco clubs or carnival or other entertainment that in principle would be affected by the same ambiguity rules. In fact, municipal restrictions in practice do not affect all bars alike, and even acted similarly in a days or in others. The absurdity of the situation has been particularly evident when local police has come to stay concerts organized by the City Council. The situation of radical uncertainty violates the principles of legal certainty and interdiction of arbitrariness of public powers enshrined in art. 9.3 of our Constitution. Does it make sense that a bar can put a record out loud but not offer a live concert? We agree with the competition it is municipal commission and find a way of understanding and mutual commitment. The radical restriction of the concerts of recent times seems to lead to a patently absurd conclusion: low any way you can program any type of live music in bars. This reality has serious social, economic and cultural. First, and this is particularly serious from a social point of view, condemning the inactivity and unemployment to many professional musicians whose guarantee of adequate income depends largely-or completely-performance in small and medium-sized rooms. Second, it prevents the emergence of new professional artists, many great artists have started playing in small bars, and, indeed, almost any musician began his career playing in larger rooms, leaving them no place to start and advance his career. Third, radically discourages entrepreneurs from investing in bars as promoters of live music (have had to cancel entire program of music cycles) helping to shape a cultural monotonous and too limited to residents of the Port and for potential tourists and visitors. Fourth eliminates the possibility of music developed and shared by fans citizens beyond the large corporations of the music and entertainment industry, the same way we talk about the "sport of base" what is the space music "based"? Live music in small venues is also a cultural contribution to society by offering new artistic content. It is the expression of a people apart from being a healthy alternative entertainment, especially for youth. We do not claim deregulation and the absence of boundaries, but on the contrary, we believe these limits should be defined clearly. We understand that musical activities must have adequate technical conditions to ensure public safety and convenience and to avoid noise pollution and nuisance to neighbors. We assume that may be necessary to put limitations on the intensity of the volume of music or concert schedules. But do not think it reasonable to prevent radically any musical activity. What we ask is possible, which is shown because there are precedents. Recently, the city council has incorporated into its municipal ordinance the category "Music bar with live music, featuring local bar and live music played or has no dance floor or comparable space (amendment BOP published ordinance No. 60 of 03.10.2008, p. 58). To express our discomfort with this situation and to require the competent authorities to take action on the matter and try to find a reasonable solution to the problem , presented and signed this letter as a tool for citizen participation.
PLEASE DO NOT BE CONSIDERED AS THE LIVE MUSIC NOISE BUT AS CULTURE.
