September 01, (THEWILL) – Music maestro, Bongos Ikwue, has joined the Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria MCSN.
His registration was carried out by the Director-General/CEO of MCSN, Mayo Ayilaran.
It was witnessed by MCSN’s Chairman, Orits Williki. The ceremony took place at Bongos Ikwue’s palatial Asokoro, Abuja home.
Speaking, Bongos Ikwue said he was glad to become a member of MCSN.
“I am a little above 80”, he said. “It’s been long overdue.”
The creator of the popular musical score, Cock Crow at dawn, and such enduring songs as Still Searching; What’s gonna be, gonna be; Amen; and Eche Une, among others, urged younger musicians to register their works.
“There’s so much technology now. You can never repeat anything you have done.”
Williki regretted that for years, the works of Bongos Ikwue were used with impunity without compensation for him.
