This organization monitors the use of protected works, negotiates tariffs and licenses, and collects fees from users to distribute to rights holders, which include Haitian Kompa Songwriters, Authors, Lyricists, Composers, Performers, Producers, Publishers, and other artists, usually through their record labels.
