Piracy delays new productions: Garakara
BY ADMIRE JAMU-MLAMBO
SUNGURA musician Joseph Garakara has bemoaned piracy, saying it had made it difficult for artistes to constantly produce new music.
Piracy has forced many musicians to shelve producing new songs as they fear reaping nothing from their sweat.
Because of piracy, the Idya Banana hitmaker said they would not rush to release new songs.
“Sometimes we are stumbled by setbacks like piracy since we are no longer getting royalties from the sales of our music.
“It is very difficult to get money for booking studio time to record a new project and that is why we are taking long to get back to the studio” Garakara told NewsDay Life & Style.
