Industry Memberships
Connected to the
rights landscape.
Indigenous Tunes participates in parts of the South African recorded-music and rights ecosystem through relevant industry memberships. These relationships support informed service pathways while the distribution business serves customers internationally.
Why these memberships matter
Industry context for
different categories of rights.
Recorded music, compositions, performance rights, mechanical rights and Needletime involve different organisations and responsibilities. Memberships help place Indigenous Tunes within that wider professional environment; they do not make the organisations interchangeable.
