Warner Music Group Fully Acquires Africori

Warner Music Group has fully acquired African distributor Africori, which touts itself as "one of the biggest independent songbooks" on the continent.

It will continue to operate as a standalone entity, and Yoel Kenan will remain as CEO, reporting to Temi Adeniji, managing director of Warner Music Africa. Over the past four years, we’ve shown that proper investment, synergies and cooperation have created value for artists, but also that Warner Music has helped energize and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit of a local partner,” added Adeniji. “We’ve upstreamed Africori artists and plugged them into our global network, delivering international remixes and trend-driven cross-collaborations that have helped elevate their careers.”
