One-Stop Licensing: Most of the albums in our catalog are available in purely instrumental versions, and can be licensed on a 'one-stop' basis. "One-Stop" means we can license both the master and the composition. This makes the licensing process efficient and easy. If you need Latin source music & cues, and you're interested in licensing Latin music for your Film or Television program, please email us and, in order to ensure we can meet your custom needs, include the following information about your project:

* contact name / address / phone number   * title of your project
* type of project (tv, film, web, game, etc.)   * proposed release date
* duration of use   * proposed use

To answer a VERY common question regarding ONE-STOP Licensing: 'Compositions' and 'Masters' are separate creative works protected by separate copyrights. When a songwriter writes the words and music to a song, he or she creates a copyright in that composition. Whenever any artist (including the original songwriter) records the composition, that artist creates a new copyright in a master recording. There can be many masters derived from one composition.

SUBMISSIONS: Currently accepting music. Electronic submissions are accepted and reviewed (mp3, wav and aiff are ok). IMPORTANT: Please ensure you submit relevant music, meaning Vocal & Instrumental Latin (or Latin influenced) music and spanish language music, for example material that can be categorized as afro-cuban, timba, salsa, tropical, latin jazz, latin pop, urban, reguetón (reggaeton), latin hip-hop and rap, electronic dance music (EDM), rock en español, etc.
