About MCAI

The MCAI -:

The MCAI formerly known as the CMDA was established on June 21st, 1958, (which is also now the "International Yoga Day", and the "World Music Day"), by iconic & eminent Indian Films' Music Composers.

With the change of name from the CMDA to the MCAI, the ambit and scope of the association has expanded to include All of India and the Rest of the World.

The activities include a range of new responsibilities and duties, towards the music composers’ fraternity of India.

From being an organization representing only the Film Music Composers’ Fraterity, the MCAI now also consists of composers from Television, Advertising and the Non Film Music Fraternity.

Most established and budding composers of India are members of the MCAI.

The MCAI strives to protect the interests of Composers in every possible way, and also prevents and preserves them from being exploited
