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.
Welcome comrades and opps, to a brand new episode of the only podcast nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Dan & Phil are back to talk about important stuff, like Travis Scott having a concert in Johannesburg, The Kadoma Music Festival and Chris Martin performing in Zimbabwe, Winky D’s AI video with Busy Signal for some reason. The Tech Ombudsmen analyze the fragile AI ecosystem, IYKYK, before taking a look at music business around the world, featuring lawsuit loser Drake and other important stuff. Enjoy!
