Swimming among the sharks of the music industry since 1987.
The story of the Berlin-based company celebrating over 25 years in business.
In addition to label and publishing activities, PIRANHA is also the initiator and organiser of WOMEX, the world's biggest world music trade fair, plus its internet equivalent, virtualWOMEX. In 2005, the first non-European WOMEX offspring PortoMusical (Recife/Brasil) came into being with more to follow. Such a network is the perfect platform for the promotion of artists and repertoire. And exactly this has been achieved: PIRANHA has introduced many new talents to a global audience with many releases, like The Klezmatics, Fanfare Ciocarlia and Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar, reaching sales of 50,000 to 100,000 CDs, while a successful licence and synch business has resulted in numerous songs from PIRANHA's catalogue being used as the soundtrack for global ad campaigns of brands like IKEA, Guinness and Microsoft.
