Portal People.lt Victor said that after the death of his beloved father Gaoussou Diawara in 2018, he is still trying to work out the will documents, but the situation is complicated and it took him to do so due to important circumstances beyond his control.
“The political situation in Mali is very unstable, there have been several coups, there has been a change of government … I have been to Mali twice, once for two weeks, the next time for a month, but during that time they have not been able to settle the inheritance due to strikes. Although my father and I left everything to my mother, I am still not an official heir until the documents have been arranged, says V. Diawara. – But I already have access to your accounts – I began to search Protected by copyright Payments. My father has been writing many songs for Skamp since 2001, including hits on radio, television, and released albums. I suspected that LATGA had never paid his father anything, so I began to explain the situation … “
Years passed, they collected money, but they did not know how to transfer it to “some Diawara” …
He states that he is convinced that LATGA did not pay a penny for his father’s work for two decades. Viktor says he is surprised, as he has spoken to the organization several times about it.
“I remember asking several times: ‘My father lives in Africa, what can I do to get the money to him?’ They told me: don’t worry, everything will be done automatically. And I just left this matter, because in my life I could not think that a Lithuanian company operating in the European Union could do it. Years passed, they collected money, but how to transfer it to “some Diawara”, I did not know … And that Diawara also writes Skamp songs … I wonder where he was heard here, maybe how would Victor Diawara accidentally know that ?!
It was only after raising this issue that I discovered that there was a website listing the authors I was looking for; I have been a LATGA member since 1998, but I don’t know of any checklists. So how can others know? LATGA is a high-level mafia, that’s why I can say … ”- the interlocutor does not hide his anger.

Viktor said that LATGA tried to talk to the beautiful girl, but, he assures, the association’s representatives are not willing to return the money that belongs to the father.
“They started vomiting, talking very ugly, so I decided to go public with this matter. Then they wrote to me: yes, they hadn’t paid my father money since 2000 because they couldn’t find him, they didn’t know where he was, they didn’t know how to transfer money to him And now it’s supposed to expire … And now they only have money for the last three years, from 2018, because the royalties are supposed to be held for exactly three years. However, the highest royalties should have been those of the years earlier, when the most popular songs were played … ”- Viktoras is convinced.
V. Diawara says that LATGA was not willing to pay anything at first, but in case of noise, it promises a profit for the last three years, as soon as it liquidates the inheritance documents and can receive the money belonging to his father. However, this does not console Viktor: he reiterates that most of the works were played in previous years, when the Skamp band used many of his father’s works, so he does not want the money earned to go to the organization.
“They put that unpaid money into a bank account and then they pay all kinds of ‘bonuses.’ If you think I’ll have enough crumbs from 2018, I’m so wrong: I’ll go to the Supreme Court, but my father’s honor will be restored and the point. My attorney is already coordinating. I wrote an official letter to the LATGA association, you can talk to my lawyer ”, the singer teaches.

“Let them do what they want, but we will definitely find out to the last penny how much money the father owes. The minimum we will demand is as much as you own. It may be fun for them, but for me it is not fun: he was a teacher who received an order from the President of France, an award from the President of Mali and many other evaluations … He loved his country, stayed in Mali, worked for the theater, he wrote. He lived quite badly, so the money would have meant so much to him … ”, adds Viktoras.
The singer says that he himself receives payments from the association for his work, so he thinks that his father should have received a considerable sum in so many years: “It would not be millions, but understand – my father in Mali earned about 180 euros a month , so no matter how much it would have been of great help to him. I always thought that he receives that money and contributes to it to earn a living … ”he did not hide from the situation.
Diawara also expressed her position on Facebook.
„<...> I thought Latgaa was for the authors. I have been a member of this association since 1998. My songs, like “L’Attente”, “You have style”, “Made Another”, “Superstar” and many others, have won you (Latgai) over the years, I dare to say that many money. And I can’t believe that as a member of this friendly authors’ organization, you have been able to hide from me for over 20 years that there is money for a certain Mr. Gaoussou Diawara and you don’t know how to transfer to him. Perhaps, as a friendly association, you could have advised me to get my father’s power or some other idea that I think would have been very easy to implement. If i had known that guli money, I really would have thought of something.
“Association of Friends” … I asked my father twice about the payments and they told me not to worry. In my opinion, their tactic is to wait until it is too late and thus take other people’s money. You will probably wire money into the fund for interest and pay bonuses until you “find” the author. Well, I can tell you, not from my father.“
LATGA hopes to resolve the problem peacefully
People.lt After contacting the president of the LATGA Board, the singer Raminta Naujanyte-Bjelle, she said that she did not want to talk much about the situation, because so far she has only communicated with Viktor Diawara through social networks, so first of all he wants to talk. solve the problem face to face.
“We have a conversation with Viktor today. This situation is unpleasant, but I am looking forward to the conversation, I want to understand it and find out everything. I hope I can help Victor understand why this is so, why it could have happened. I myself am the author and I want everything to go well. I am disappointed that he has not contacted me directly, we are familiar, I would definitely have tried to help. I respect Victor and we will try to talk to him more. I do not want to say anything more until we know everything. ” People.lt R. Naujanytė said.
The LATGA Association intends to explain this situation in a press release that it promises to distribute.
