We are happy to use technology for education purposes. The intention is also to pay tribute to sons and daughters (composers and performers) of this music. Some composers take offense at music being loaded here without their “consent”. There are exceptions to rights of a composer, the music can be used for education and public interest purposes. We do not make money from your work. Damara Nama musicians are gifted, but maybe it’s time to shake hands with one another. You use public space e.g church, NBC radio kaisames, etc, that is a privilege not a right. Johan Sebastian Bach in my view was the only complete musician, but he too started by copying music from Italian musicians when he was young. He later composed to pay tribute to Italian musicians as well. There are lessons to be learned from the academic world. There everyone is free to use your ideas, provided they acknowledge it comes from you. They don’t need “consent” permission from you, in fact it is a highly sought after status that most people rely on your ideas. The more you are quoted the better for you. I have seen some Damara Nama musicians using other people’s music, but not keen for their music to be used by others. Another one in an extreme case was swearing at other musicians at a night Virgil of a departed right in front of the bereaved family, because the other musicians apparently spoiled his music. Pastor Frederick once preached and said when non-religious people swear f@*of, you christians say h@#*)%&€d. Tseitseimou simply translated that “//Na go mihe”, church went into laughter. Anyway gospel musicians could learn from Ma/gaisa musicians who generally respect and embrace each other’s work. I once asked OuJomo to help me with sixteenth notes as I’m still learning, he said which musician is not learning anymore. Some bereaved families bury loved once’s without choirs, instrumentalists, because either they can’t afford to pay them, or they are not known or performers can’t simply be everywhere, meaning there is too much space. Thus there is no need for competition/rivalry. Society grants you space in exchange serve the people without favoritism in a manner that upholds the dignity of the Khoekhoe people.
