Warner Music Latina

It has been a year of change for Warner, with Duque taking over as president and bringing new members to his executive team — including Orjuela, Vaccari and Andrade Dirak — and promoting Rivera and Abraham. The musical results include Anitta becoming the first Brazilian artist to top Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart with “Envolver,” and the signing of upand-coming talent Tiago PZK, Ovy on the Drums and Elena Rose, as well as Paulo Londra, who reached No. 2 on Spotify’s Global chart with his comeback single, “Plan A.” The label also partnered with Meta, the company previously known as Facebook, to make the first music video created in the metaverse for Colombian rapper Blessd. While Warner is bullish on young, urban sounds, the label is also vested in regional Mexican, signing new stars DannyLux, Beto Vega and Jesús Mendoza, plus the iconic band Pesado.
