Coachella Files Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Afrochella
Coachella Files Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Afrochella
Megafest in California claims The Ghana Afrobeats event invaded the American market, attempted to cybersquat on domain names, and tried to patent the song “Chella.”
A copyright infringement complaint has been launched against the directors of Afrochella, a Ghanaian music festival that focuses on Afrobeats music, by GOLDENVOICE, THE CONCERT GIGANTIC BEHIND COACHELLA.
Three years after receiving a warning from Goldenvoice owner AEG that the Afrochella festival was violating its trademark, the case was filed on Wednesday in a California district court and obtained by Rolling Stone.

“We get that you are calling your music and art festival Afrochella. AEG wrote to the Afrochella organizers in 2019 and stated, “We observe that your event is a part of a bigger celebration that is intended to entice Africans living abroad (including those in the United States) to return home to Africa.
Regardless of the occasion or event, it is very likely that using the name Afrochella for a music and arts festival may cause misunderstandings and false impressions about your relationship to AEG and Coachella.
The general public is likely to think, in particular, that you are approved by or associated with AEG or Coachella.
You even acknowledged that Coachella served as the inspiration for both your event’s name and its content.
Similar criticisms of having your own Facebook page claim that using the name of your festival to capitalize on the popularity of the Coachella brand is unethical.

There’s Nothing Like Worldly People, Most Of These People Possess Good Characters – Herty Bongreat
Gospel artist Herty Bongreat recently shared her thoughts on why she chose to collaborate with secular artists Sarkodie and Trigmatic. Her response highlighted the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances. “People we perceive as ‘worldly’ often possess remarkable humanistic qualities, even surpassing those who claim to know Christ.”
Herty emphasized the need to engage with others before making judgments. “Comparing their lifestyle to that of some people within the church reveals a stark difference.”
In addition to her thoughts on collaboration, Herty also shared valuable advice on parenting in the digital age. “As parents, we must be proactive and involved in our children’s lives, especially online. Assuming we know what they’re doing can lead to unawareness of potential issues.”
Herty’s words serve as a reminder to approach others with an open mind and to prioritize involvement in our children’s lives.
