Breaking into global markets as an African artist can cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, while local streams generate only a fraction of that value.   In this episode, Just Ivy Africa sits down with Moriasi Omambia, General Counsel and Head of Business Affairs at Sauti Sol Group, to unpack the real economics of the music industry, from discovery to global success. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/just-money-podcast-7568424/episodes/money-music-manipulation-who-really-gets-paid/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/just-money-podcast-7568424/money-music-manipulation-who-really-gets-paid.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
