On 19 January 2010, Edward Maya arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, where he signed an agreement with Eldar Mansurov affirming their co-authorship of 'Stereo Love'.'īrilliant Dadasova was the first to record Mansurov's composition.Īs for this supposed sample of Lambada, there is no (direct) sample in there, although other Internet sources suggest there may be an interpolation of some kind, I'm not sure there is. Maya commented by saying he was 'fascinated' by the accordion version of 'Bayatılar' he had come across on the Internet earlier in 2009 and claimed he had tried to contact the author but failed due to his busy schedule. Both the Office and Edward Maya later confirmed that Mansurov's work was in fact used in the making of 'Stereo Love'. In the video clip, the composer of 'Stereo Love' was indicated as 'anonymous'.

'In the autumn of 2009 in Greece, Azerbaijani composer Eldar Mansurov contacted the Romanian Office for Copyright claiming the refrain of 'Stereo Love' was a copy of a tune from his popular 1989 composition 'Bayatılar'. As you say, it shares a riff, that is why it is labelled as an interpolation and not a direct sample. That does not mean that everyone who has supposedly sampled or interpolated 'Johnny B Goode' since 'Just for Laughs Gags' was made is in fact sampling a ludicrously obscure piece of music from this programme. For example, the track 'Jeffrey be bad' by Scott Price clearly riffs off 'Johnny B Goode' by Chuck Berry. The piece of accordion music from the video does not appear to be on it, but what I will also say is this - some of the music on there appears to be 'inspired' by or interpolating popular pieces of music. I have come across a compilation of music from the show on Spotify (released after 'Stereo Love' was released) therefore the music used on the show is not copyright free. You cannot just hear a piece of music with an accordion on that contains a very small part that sounds like 'Stereo Love' and claim that it's a direct sample when the rest of the melody on 'Stereo Love' sounds nothing like it and all other evidence clearly points to 'Bayatilar' as the source. There is no way that a Romanian producer sampled some random episode of a Canadian television programme, (nor this random YouTube clip, which is newer than 'Stereo Love') less still do it and then decide to give away half of 'Stereo Love's royalties to the author of 'Bayatilar', which you yourself say is 'a very very different song' from the piece of music in the video you have linked to. Obviously there is a little section there that strongly resembles part of 'Stereo Love' (and may even be inspired by 'Bayatilar') but the rest of the melody is not the same at all. The melody on the track in the video is very different to the melody in 'Stereo Love'.

Claiming it is a sample on that basis alone is like claiming a standard Grand piano sound is sampled from another record containing a standard Grand piano. Obviously the sound itself is virtually the same, but it would sound the same, it's an accordion.

You claim it sounds identical but it doesn't. Gonna play it out.Sorry, but the music in that video is 100% not the 'Stereo Love' sample.
