The platform

What is Boomplay

Boomplay is the leading music streaming and download service across Africa, with a large user base spanning Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and beyond. For labels with Afrobeats, Amapiano or any catalog targeting African audiences, it is an essential destination.

How it works

How limbo/ delivers
to Boomplay

You deliver once to limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the full Boomplay supply chain. Metadata is validated before anything ships.

1
Direct + Merlin

limbo/ reaches Boomplay through its own direct deals and Merlin Network membership, so you get negotiated access without a re-aggregation layer, and your royalty data stays inside limbo/.

2
DDEX-native pipeline

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections.

3
African audience

Delivered through limbo/'s direct deals and Merlin Network access, so your catalog reaches Boomplay's African audience with correct metadata and per-territory controls.
