If you distribute a recording for any reason (Including as background for your video on social media), you must pay royalties to the arranger and the performers. The age at which a recording of a performance hits the public domain varies widely across the World. If you need background music for your production and don't want to pay, Youtube and others have libraries of royalty free music. -- Tciao for Now! John.
