The Caribbean Forum on the Information Society (CFIS) was convened by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Sub regional Headquarters for the Caribbean on 26 – 27 October 2004, as part of its preparatory process for the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). The meeting took place at a time of increasing activity in Information Communications Technology (ICT) development and following another event, the CARICOM meeting of ICT Ministers. Sanch Electronix Limited, one of a very small group of companies involved in the recording of Caribbean indigenous music, has been able to overcome the above challenge i.e. the methods of documentation and preservation of content. The company records steelband orchestras on - location and has employed advanced technology to capture every nuance of the instruments in the recordings. The information is stored on a digital recorder and may be monitored and played back. The company has a national and international focus in its marketing strategies and efforts are now being made to promote its extensive catalogue of works at media conglomerates in the USA as well as in Latin America.
