In a historic moment for Tanzanian music, the courts have delivered a resounding verdict against American film giant, HBO. Our talented musicians, Soggy Doggy and Dataz, have successfully won their case after HBO unlawfully used their popular song “Sikutaki Tena.”

This iconic song, recorded at Soundcrafters studios under the production of Enrico, gained immense popularity in the early 2000s. However, the artists’ joy turned to dismay when they discovered their song featured prominently in HBO’s acclaimed film, “Sometimes in April,” without their knowledge or consent.
Through a legal battle spearheaded by Markel Advocates, Soggy Doggy and Dataz were able to prove that HBO had infringed on their copyright. As a result, the court has ordered HBO to pay substantial damages for the harm caused to the artists.
This victory is a testament to the importance of protecting the rights of our musicians. We urge all artists to safeguard their work through legal means.
