About this listen
That's what the Jamaican production duo Steely & Clevie are trying to do, with an ongoing lawsuit claiming ownership of the so-called "dembow" riddim – the basis for reggaeton worldwide. It's one of the most significant music copyright cases of the last decades, with significant and widespread implications for both the mainstream music world and underground dance music. To discuss the questions and possibilities that the lawsuit raises, Kikelomo and Otto Kent are joined by Oscar Atanga, a resident of the African Acid is the Future collective and Refuge Worldwide Berlin.
