Croatia: Rim Tim Tagi Dim Copyright Issue for Baby Lasagna?
You read in our previous article, the issue that has arisen with the song Baby Lasagna, will represent Croatia at Eurovision 2024. Part of Rim Tim Tagi Dim is identical to Espectro, a demo by dj Adrián de la Vega. The DJ spoke to X’s Spanish account, Espace, saying that he is investigating the copyright issue that may exist and concerns the part of the two songs that are similar.
Adrián de la Vega’s Espectro has been around for 3 years at X. That is, it preceded Baby Lasagna’s Rim Tim Tagi Dim. It is not uncommon for an artist to have purchased a music sample from a creator. But from what it seems and based on Adrián de la Vega’s reaction, there is no such case here. The dj told Espace:
I am investigating the copyright issue with an expert. The sample in question was a portion of the song, in which i hold copyright.
Apart from the issue of copyright, there is also a question regarding the regulations of the competition, since a significant part of the Croatian entry has been in official circulation for three years on the web.
You can listen and draw your own conclusions. After the 3rd minute exactly:
Baby Lasagna won a landslide victory in Dora 2024, Croatia’s national final for Eurovision and so with the song Rim Tim Tagi Dim, he will represent his country in Malmö. In fact, it is already considered one of the favorites, since Croatia is in second place in the betting for winning Eurovision 2024.
We await the development of this matter. We will update you with any news!
