South African Music Rights Organisation to open an office in NMB

By

The days of music composers and authors in Nelson Mandela Bay and the greater Eastern Cape province spending money on travel between Eastern Cape and Gauteng to inquire about their royalties and related matters will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the hard work by  Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Film and Music office, South African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) will officially open a satellite office in Nelson Mandela Bay.

SAMRO’s primary role is to administer copyright in music creators and publishers intellectual property (i.e. their Performing Rights). It does so by licensing music users (such as television and radio broadcasters, live music venues, and establishments that play music, such as retailers, restaurants and shopping centres), collecting licence fees and distributing royalties to music creators.

SAMRO also plays a vital role in funding and supporting music and arts education through the SAMRO Foundation. It also boosts the local music industry by hosting regular seminars and workshops. It also helpls to foster and develop creativity across all categories and genres of music.
