Barbados Today – A new Caribbean music database will be launched across the region on February 1, 2021.
The database, called C-Note, is an online digital database of regional sound recordings. The initiative has been formulated to increase the access and use of Caribbean music and is a joint effort between JCAP (Jamaica), OECS Echo, Barbados COSCAP, Trinidad COT and Belize Copyright Association. Collectively those associations have over 10,000 members, inclusive of songwriters, music publishers, performers, producers of song recordings.
Chief Executive Officer of the Copyright Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (COSCAP) Erica Smith told a Zoom session that there was a need for “authentic Caribbean cultural content”.
