|
|
According to FITO FARINEN, there is a band based in the Antilles (I believe he might have said Curacao) that is getting famous off of Caimi's song "Por Favor".
They apparently have a rendition of that song that seems to be working in certain parts of the Antilles, and they are alledgedly getting a lot of gigs because of it. Fito claims to the point that people actually believe that THEY are the original writers of the song.
Fito said that he was scheduled to go down there to get to the bottom of the matter.
We'll keep you posted.

At least Curaceo is a Dutch Territory, there are copyright laws that are similar to the US. Good luck on this adventure. |
