In this episode of Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris, we welcome Marti Cuevas, President of Mayimba Music, and sitting ASCAP board member, for an important conversation about protecting music, intellectual property, and the rights of independent artists and companies. Marti discusses a significant legal victory achieved by Mayimba Music, J & N Records LLC, and 829Music after the three independent Hispanic music companies joined forces to defend recordings they say had been exploited without authorization for more than a decade. The case involved claims of digital piracy, unauthorized use, and unpaid royalties, ultimately resulting in a favorable judgment in a Miami court. We also explore the cultural importance of the Caribbean and Hispanic artists behind these recordings. While some may be unfamiliar to mainstream audiences, their music has influenced generations and is increasingly being sampled by major artists, including Cardi B and Bad Bunny.

In this episode of Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris, we welcome Oakland-based singer, poet, spoken-word artist, and intuitive reader Lisa B—also known as Lisa Bernstein. Blending jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, literary poetry, and spiritual exploration, Lisa discusses her eighth full-length album, '60s Magic Now!: The Y-Verse. The album boldly reimagines beloved songs from the 1960s for today's complex world, capturing the innocence, rebellion, freedom, and cultural transformation that defined the era. Lisa shares the creative vision behind revisiting these classics and giving them a fresh, contemporary voice while honoring their original spirit. We also explore Lisa's new interpretation of The Association's 1967 classic "Windy," along with her versions of "Spooky," "Mr. Fantasy," and "Ruby Tuesday." Each song represents a different expression of liberation and the magic of the 1960s.
