Last week social media was thrown into a furore after the release of ZIMURA’s (Zimbabwe Music Rights Association) revised public broadcast fees for venues and locations that play music for the public. Many observers seemed to misunderstand the purpose these fees played and also why ZIMURA was threatening to fine venues.
Dan and Phil managed to contact Mr. Albert Nyathi – Chairman of The ZIURA board and Ms. Polisile Ncube-Chimhini – the Executive Director of ZIMURA to get some answers to questions that many artists and observers had.
Just in time for (some of) your long weekend, the pugnacious pair return for a brand new episode of your favourite podcast that has been allowed through the Straight of Hormuz straight to your government-issued addiction device. Dan & Phil discuss why promoters still book Kelvin Momo, the ultra-high stakes KitKat heist, Pooh Shiesty handling a contract dispute, the only way that works with Gucci Mane, A Nigerian King of East London in South Africa??? and why we keep booking South African amapiano acts for Zimbabwean music festivals. Enjoy!
