Melody Empire Group (MEG) has partnered with the estate of South Africa’s anti-apartheid legend Miriam Makeba to digitize and distribute her entire catalog via blockchain. The Mama Africa Archive project uses AI to restore 1960s recordings of hits like Pata Pata and The Click Song, while MEG’s NFT platform offers exclusive virtual concerts and unreleased studio footage. Proceeds from NFT sales fund Makeba’s former choir, now a UNICEF youth ambassador program in Soweto. For the first time ever, Makeba’s music is licensed to TikTok with smart contracts ensuring 40% of ad revenue goes to South African township music schools.
