NAIROBI, KENYA: Tamasha Corporations is locked in a legal fight with two Congolese musicians over copyright infringement traced back to 1996.

Following a court order in December last year, the applicant in the case Hellen Arika got a leeway to raid Tamasha’s premises where with the help of Kenya police infringing copies of musical works in respect to Kiambukuta Londa Joseph (Josky Kiambukuta) and Late Djo Mpoyi Kanyinda were confiscated.
