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.
