Free Global Music Distribution
Eikhoigi Puwari provides non-profit digital music distribution for independent Meitei musicians and folk performers in Bangladesh, bridging the gap to over 150 international streaming networks without artist-side fees.
Why Many Folk Artists Face Roadblocks
Traditional Meitei musicians across Bangladesh frequently encounter barriers that prevent their music from reaching worldwide audiences:
- Recurring annual distribution subscriptions and upfront publishing fees.
- Lack of international payment methods (credit cards, foreign merchant accounts).
- Complex digital asset management, audio metadata, and ISRC/UPC encoding standards.
- Unfamiliarity with streaming platform policies and intellectual property procedures.

As a voluntary courtesy to the Meitei community, Eikhoigi Puwari covers applicable distribution costs and manages the digital delivery pipeline using available organizational infrastructure:
- Zero Cost to Artists: We do not charge folk musicians for eligible distribution.
- Artists Retain Ownership: Distribution does not transfer copyright to Eikhoigi Puwari.
- Global Reach: Delivered to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube Music, and more.
- Administrative Management: We handle technical metadata, tagging, and upload requirements.
