Anthem Entertainment has announced it has acquired a ‘wide selection of songs’ from Puerto Rican rapper Darell’s catalog. The acquisition includes the hit “Te Boté (Remix),” which features Casper Mágico, Nio García, Nicky Jam, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny.
Other Darell songs that are part of this acquisition include “Otro Trago”, “Asesina”, and other tracks that feature Jennifer Lopez, Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin, and other collaborators. The Toronto-based Anthem Entertainment says this acquisition will further bolster its Latin music portfolio. Anthem Entertainment’s publishing catalog also includes other Latin acts such as Pitbull, Farruko, Camilo, Ricky Martin, and Karol G.
Darell was represented in the deal by Angie Martinez, Esq., Denny Marte at MPA Advisors, LLC and Eddy Perdomo at EPM Entertainment.
Alongside the acquisition, Anthem also announced it had appointed Victor Mijares as the company’s first VP of Latin Music. Anthem says Mijares will work closely with Anthem’s acquisition team to “source and evaluate investment opportunities in the Latin market.”
“We are excited to welcome Victor as Anthem’s first-ever Vice President of Latin Music,” Anthem CEO Jason Klein said in a statement. “With his deep expertise in Latin music and culture, alongside his extensive industry experience, Victor will play a crucial role as we expand our presence in this vibrant and rapidly growing market. Under Victor’s leadership, Anthem’s acquisition of this extraordinary catalog of songs from Darell is a significant step in our strategy to invest in exceptional Latin music, further diversifying and enriching our already impressive catalog of songs.”
“I am honored and thrilled to have joined Jason Klein’s outstanding team and to contribute to Anthem Entertainment’s continuing success,” Mijares adds. “I believe that the potential to grow our business in the Latin sector is open-ended. We have the passion, commitment, and resources to shake exciting opportunities for our partners. The acquisition of a large portion of Darell’s catalog is a very important step for us as a company as well as for the Canadian music industry. We are delighted to add Darell’s masterful works to our growing repertoire.”
