Indaba Music
Indaba Music is a social networking website for musicians interested in collaborating on music projects online. The site was founded by Dan Zaccagnino and Matthew Siegel, who also founded Veritas Records while undergraduates at Harvard. Indaba Music provides tools that allow musicians to connect and collaborate on music projects with users around the world. Registration and use of the site is free and available anywhere the internet is accessible. The site is similar to other music collaboration sites like Jamglue, Splice, WeMix, eJamming, Mix2r, NinJam and YourSpins. [1] According to the company, “Indaba is a Zulu word that invokes the spirit of collaboration and community. It refers to a gathering or a forum for sharing ideas, and it embodies concepts that are central to the mission of Indaba Music.”[2] The site is part of a trend in digital music to provide artists with creative services beyond promotion and distribution.
