Each release of this premium library is artist-driven and designed with the utmost authenticity in mind. In order to genuinely represent each region, all titles feature award-winning professionals and specialists from the U.S., Caribbean, Central and South America.Latin Music Specialists - Our catalog is 100% wholly-owned, organic, non-programmed, developed and produced from the very first note to final release, all featuring award-winning musicians, recording, mixing & mastering engineers and producers. The result is both one-stop licensing for fast, simple clearance and ultra-fresh, authentic "sabor". While our albums are released artistically in their original form, all tracks are made available in instrumental, karakoe (TV track), a capella and stem formats. 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. With broad and encyclopedic music expertise, plus a sophisticated knowledge of music licensing and negotiation, we aim to provide a truly outstanding catalog of Latin music cues from every possible medium.
