Planning Your Next Release: Advice from the Experts

Sym Speaker: Randall Foster (VP of Business Development & GM, Nashville)

When: Monday, May 13th // 10:00 – 10:45 CT

Opportunities Abound: Latin Music’s Growing Popularity In Sync

Sym Speaker: Guillermo Bohorquez Cortes (Sync Coordinator, Colombia)

When: Tuesday, May 14th // 3:30 PM – 4:10 PM CT

“Hits like “Despacito” and “Mi Gente” broke streaming records and dominated the charts in 2018, giving light to a genre of music with such a rich cultural heritage and propelling Latin superstars into the global mainstream. Music Business Worldwide recently reported that the genre saw a 986% increase in Spotify listeners over the last 10 years. Whether a result of Peso Pluma, Bad Bunny, or Becky G, this explosion in popularity has impacted the demand for Latin music in sync placements. And, not just for placements in Spanish language and Hispanic programming, but also for non-Latin programming and advertising as well. This panel will discuss sync success and some challenges that make placing Latin music in TV, movies, and games so interesting.”
