Waka Music Limited is a catalogue management, distribution and acquisition company reported in Ghanaian trade press to have paid upfront sums for master recording rights to older, already-released songs by Ghanaian artists, and in at least one reported case to administer the phonogram (P) credit on new releases for a period. Fourteen named Ghanaian artists have been reported to have leased catalogue to the company.
Ownership could not be established. A private company of the same name, incorporated in Hong Kong on 8 March 2023, is live on Hong Kong’s companies register, but no source checked, including the UK’s Companies House (no exact-name match) or Ghana’s registry (no public search tool), confirms or rules out whether this is the entity operating in Ghana.
It appears in this directory as a counterparty named directly on artists’ own phonogram credits, and as the subject of Ghanaian trade-press reporting on catalogue sales, not as a company whose ownership or incorporation this desk has been able to confirm.
