  107 8. LIBERIAN MUSI

Unarguably, the tension between Liberian musicians and IP authorities creates a dilemma. This article makes efforts to discuss the dilemma by; first, reviewing the copyright regime and musicians’ understanding of it; and second, considering the consumers’ and investors’ perspectives of the industry. (...) Without a policy, Liberian musicians seem to have little or no hope and confidence in the institutions dealing with the protection and accessed 7 May 2020. 15 ‘About Liberia and its Challenges’ (The Agape National Academy of Music, 20 January 2017) accessed 12 May 2019. 16 Phoebe Parke, 'How to make it in Africa's Music Industry' (Africa Start-up CNN, 4 May 2016). (...) Without awareness, music users and recording companies deal directly with artists who are easily swindled because they are not music business trained.51 Some musicians entrust the issues of contracts and royalties to music users or recording companies.

  UCCN REPORT 2019 UNE

So working with the UNESCO Focal Point in Hannover we arranged for two Liverpool musicians to work with two Hannover musicians. The two Liverpool musicians travelled to Hannover first and worked on developing some new music with their Hannover counterparts. Dialogue and work continued between the two sets of musicians after this before the Hannover musicians came to Liverpool for some final work. (...) Where possible we would look to develop collaborative approaches such as we did at LIMF in 2019 with musicians having the opportunity to work with musicians from other cities.

  Selmor keeps Mtukudzi’s UNICEF legacy alive | UNICEF Zimbabwe

“I remember being happy and proud to see my dad working with such a wonderful organisation, but I wasn’t too surprised as I already knew that he had written music that spoke about some of the issues that UNICEF deals with,” she said. Selmor, a versatile contemporary musician and actress, is one of the late Oliver Mtukudzi’s most prominent children and an outstanding singer on Zimbabwe’s music scene. (...) Selmor has also been on the ground meeting young people to understand how they deal with issues such as child marriages and the experience is driving her to do more. (...) “I was inspired to hear the young people express their aspirations and dreams for their future and how they felt girls should be given the same chances in life as boys, and be protected against child marriage; it was inspiring for me to hear their messages, and it reminded me that while we try to make changes in our society for the better for girls, we need to consult girls and boys and listen to what they have to say to us, and involve them in the work we do and the campaigns we develop. “I believe as musicians and public figures we are blessed with a voice that reaches further than some organisations can.

“Of course I am a bit nervous,” she said the morning before, during practice at the home of fellow musician Marwan Abado, who plays an oud, an Arab instrument like a lute.
