Kudzuman Copyright Question on 'sound bites' (3) Copyright Question on 'sound bites' 07 Jan 03


I've done a recording of a storyteller telling traditional African folk tales and she would like to add "buttons" between the stories. Little 20 to 30 seconds of music tracks just to break it up a bit. Here is the question: I have a recording of some Traditonal African music (tribal) but it was given to me by a person I was acquainted with from Africa and I have no idea where it was recorded or by what organization may have recorded it or if they own the copyrights. If I use 20 second bites for this recording would this be a no-no? Thanks for any advice here.
