The appointment of KSA as the President of MCSN coincides with the rollout of the Society\u2019s GoCreate app for the monitoring and reporting of the use of music on all platforms (digital, online and offline) within the territory of Nigeria. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Sunny Ade &amp; His African Beats  - Dance Medley (Live on KEXP)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7fIzasVGSck?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1c1c1c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The General Council (Board) of the Musical Copyright Society Nigeria Ltd\/Gte (MCSN) has appointed King Sunny Ade, a past Chairman of the Board of the Society during the turbulent period when MCSN was struggling to be approved or licensed as a collecting society (now Collective Management Organisation). As Chairman, KSA led several delegations of MCSN to meet with Ministers and top Government functionaries to press for the recognition of MCSN as a collecting society. KSA also led MCSN through series of serious legal battles for the respect and defense of the rights of musicians. Many of the cases have now come out in favour of MCSN, even up to the Supreme Court level. The appointment was apparently in recognition and appreciation of the past leadership of King Sunny Ade to MCSN.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Sunny Ade &amp; His African Beats - Me Le Se (Live on KEXP)\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/osNAy1DNkOQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1c1c1c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In his new role, the King of World Beat as King Sunny Ade is also known, is expected to act as the Ambassador Plenipotentiary of the Society opening more doors of opportunities for the Society by leveraging on his wide experience and contacts around the world for the benefit of the Society and its affiliates. MCSN is also expected to leverage on the vast experience and network of King Sunny Ade in pushing the cause of the Society. It would be recalled that MCSN launched the GoCreate App for the monitoring, tracking and reporting of the use of musical works and sound recordings on all platforms sometime in the third quarter of 2020.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"King Sunny Ade and his African Beats - Montreux Jazz Festival 1983\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A4XUsHNLfts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1c1c1c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the peak of the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic, the App has successfully undergone series of test run and is now going live as the first African digital tool to assist Collective Management Organisations in the onerous task of monitoring, tracking, analyzing<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> <strong><span style=\"color: #1c1c1c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">and accurate reporting of the use of music for equitable distribution of royalties to interested parties, who are members and affiliates of MCSN.
