Since our founding in 1981, over 200 CD productions have been released on our record label, likewise called JARO. Among them are a number of albums which have been distinguished with music awards. The women’s choir Bulgarian Voices Angelite, for instance, was nominated for the Grammy in 1993, in 1995 Nusrath Fateh Ali Khan won the international music prize of the UNESCO, the Warsaw Village Band was honoured with the BBC World Music Award in 2004, three times with the Polish equivalent of the Grammy Award – FRYDERYK Award, and the German record award- Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik (Bestenliste 2012). In addition, Hazmat Modine was awarded the French award “Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cross” in the “Blues” category and has been in the World Music Charts Europe (WMCE) Top. No.1.

Music Production

In the course of our 32-year history and more then 200 music releases, JARO has always been distinguished by its broadmindedness with regard to style, thus producing: jazz, classical music, European-Arabic music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, world music, pop and a number of projects that defy classification in the usual categories. This attitude goes hand in hand with a conspicuous willingness to take risks and the very stubborn pursuit of an individual profile which hardly takes recourse to popular trends – but sometimes anticipates them! Each year from hundreds of emerging projects, JARO’s rooster camp is picking only one that we think will have a novel impact on the world music scene –”JARO’s Artist of the Year”. Only in this way, we can assure the passion and heartedness into effectively promoting the artist.

Publishing

Every year, JARO purposely publishes only a limited number of products – the products we can identify with. Our motto is: qualitative diversity. From the start, JARO has always placed itself entirely at the service of music and the musicians, setting its stakes on continuity: We have been working with many of our artists for more than twenty years. JARO is also cooperating with sub-publishing companies from different territories.

Booking

We act as a booking agency only for the artists that are releasing with JARO Medien Label. Our main focus is Europe. In other territories, we are working together with sub-agents. All in all, JARO organizes between 200 and 250 concerts and festivals a year. The geographical span includes: Germany, Austria, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Finland, Belgium etc. Additionally, we have very close relationships with Polish and Russian promoters. JARO is only booking concerts for the artists we produce.
