GHAMRO Commences Distribution Of Royalties To Musicians

The Ghana Music Rights Organisation, (GHAMRO), wishes to inform its cherished members that the December 2016 distribution of outstanding royalties starts from Wednesday April 12, 2017.

This was made possible after the receipt of the statutory blank levy of two million two hundred and twenty four thousand Ghana Cedi's 2,224,000.00 from the Bank of Ghana through the Registrar Generals Department.

Notice is hereby given to all members that the Board in line with its mandate has approved the disbursement of funds as indicated below to settle the outstanding royalty payment due to members for December 2016 via mobile money, bank transfers and over the counter payments for the old, disabled and infirm members.

This means the amount being distributed is almost 20% more than what is statutorily required by the Regulations. To enable the Society improve on its collections and distribute higher royalties to members, the Board and Management of GHAMRO urge all music users such as Broadcasting Stations (Radio & TV), Telecommunication Operators, Banking & Other Financial Institutions, Hotels, Shopping Malls, Restaurants, Spinning Groups, Event Organisers, Offices, Hairdressing Salons, Barbering Shops and all other public places, to apply to GHAMRO for a licence to regularise their usage of musical works by calling the hotlines (054 0122357 and 054 0122359).
Please note that failure to obtain a license for the use of music in public is unlawful and punishable under the copyright laws of Ghana.
