Anthem Entertainment Acquires Selection of Songs from Darell’s Catalog, Including Smash Hit ‘Te Boté’

Anthem Entertainment has acquired a “wide” selection of songs from Darell‘s catalog, the company tells Billboard. Included in the deal is the urbano superstar’s star-studded “Te Boté (Remix)” with Casper Mágico, Nio García, Nicky Jam, Ozuna & Bad Bunny, which peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018 and ruled the Hot Latin Songs chart for 14 weeks.

Additional Darell songs that are part of the acquisition include “Otro Trago” with Sech and “Asesina” with Brytiago, along with tracks featuring Jennifer Lopez, Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin and more.

The Darell catalog acquisition further boosts Anthem’s presence in the Latin music space. The indie music company’s publishing catalog also includes an array of hits by Latin acts such as Pitbull, Karol G, Farruko, Camilo and Ricky Martin.

Also on Wednesday (Nov. 13), Anthem also announced that industry veteran Victor Mijares has been appointed as the company’s first vp of Latin music and will “work closely” with Anthem’s acquisitions team to “source and evaluate investment opportunities in the Latin market,” according to a press release.

“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’s Entertainment’s continuing success,” Mijares added. “I believe that the potential to grow our business in the Latin sector is open-ended. We have the passion, commitment, and resources to shape 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.”

Darell was represented in the deal by Angie Martinez, Esq., Denny Marte at MPA Advisors, LLC and Eddy Perdomo at EPM Entertainment.
