We are experts in music from the Caribbean, Central and South America, as well as the afro-influenced versions from each territory and culture. African music performs a crucial role in all the indigenous rhythms from each area. Due to its highly syncretic nature, Latin American music encompasses a wide variety of styles.Music Supervision - The founders of OMG have many years of experience as professionals who oversee all music related aspects of film, television, advertising, video games and other existing or emerging visual media.
