New digital rights collection agreement with SADIA
We are happy to announce our new representation agreement with the Angolan Collective Management Entity (SADIA) for the collection of digital rights in Europe for the repertoire of more than 35,000 songs entrusted by Angolan authors, artists and publishers to SADIA.
SADIA members will now be represented in their digital rights throughout the Pan-European territory through a single point of contact, thanks to our multi-territorial license agreements with DSPs, Social Networks and other users of musical works. This becomes the second agreement for digital collections in Europe inked this month after our partnership with Brazilian company Smart Rights.
We both are committed to providing efficient, transparent and state-of-the-art services to the music industry and are committed to expediting the receipt of rights for the vibrant Angolan music industry.
Dr. João André da Silva Feijó, President of SADIA, commented: “It is a great honor for us to have you as partners, we are happy for having trusted in us, and to carry out this project that requires a lot of responsibility, especially because it is something so important as a collection of digital rights for Angolan authors. ”
Our CEO Jordi Puy also stated: “We are grateful to SADIA for trusting us and very happy to serve the representatives of Angolan creators in our joint mission to optimize their digital collections in Europe”. And he added: “We see this agreement as the beginning of a long and fruitful journey together.”
