Here's the reason! SAPI canceled records of two Canserbero phonographic productions

This Friday, February 2 , the Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, reported that on January 20, the Autonomous Intellectual Property Service (SAPI) issued an administrative act by which it annulled the records of the phonographic productions Life and Death and Apa and Can by rapper Tirone González, better known as Canserbero.

In this regard, during a press conference, he indicated that this measure was taken because after carrying out the relevant investigations, it became known that Leandro Añez (Kapu) recorded Tirone González's musical themes as his authorship, thus obtaining “ 100% of royalties in relation to the most relevant musical themes; without paying Canserbero's father the money he deserves for this concept”.

He explained that the research showed “that Canserbero is the author of his own lyrics, but he also collaborated together with Leandro Añez (Kapu) in the musical production (...) So we would be in the presence of a 'co-production'” between the two.

He stressed that, despite this, Añez “maliciously registered with the Collective Management Society (ASCAP), as his own the entirety of the musical production, thus silencing Canserbero's professional merit and therefore his cultural contribution”.

In turn, he specified that Añez had not only attributed himself to “the total musical production of Canserbero, but he also recorded as his authorship the musical themes of Tirone González”.

For this reason, he stressed that the SAPI decision will remain in force, “since until now the Public Ministry has no evidence to prove the total production of Leandro Añez, in the above-mentioned musical themes.”
