Hi, all. So I am a South African living abroad, and I have a question. See, I’m an amateur musician, and I want to record a cover of the song “Blou Blou Lug” by Seeleeu Leipoldt for my next album. The problem is that I can’t seem to find out how to navigate the copyright situation. I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes here. Is there a database somewhere that I can search to figure out who owns this song?
TL;DR: I need info on the copyright of an old Afrikaans song for the purpose of releasing a cover version.
Looks like it was released by Wildebeest Records https://musicbrainz.org/release/d44e9f03-62f5-4d2a-a7c1-f8b6717cdeee Which was founded by Eckard Potgieter https://www.discogs.com/label/90397-Wildebeest-Records
Perhaps you can find his contact details somewhere?
Hi. The album was just published. Check it out:
