About Avicii:

In 2011, Avicii reached critical mass with the global success of “Le7els,” which became a No. 1 dance hit in the U.S. and the U.K. and sold four million tracks worldwide. It topped the charts in six other territories, went top 10 in many more, and garnered Bergling his second Grammy nomination. Other hits brought a much-publicized remix of Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild.” In 2013, Avicii won his first American Music Award (for Favorite Electronic Dance Music Artist) and his first MTV Europe Music Award (EMA) (for Best Electronic Artist).

In 2014 Avicii cemented his place in the firmament of superstar recording artist/DJ’s with the success of his genre-defying debut album, True, on PRMD Records. The album not only satisfied the 26-year-old Swede’s restless creative urge to push musical boundaries, it also upped the ante on what dance music could be by blending the earthy sounds of folk, country, and bluegrass with soaring pop melodies, funky disco jams, and driving house beats. True spawned the 4x-platinum guitar-laden stomper “Wake Me Up,” which hit No. 1 in 81 countries and became the most streamed song of all time on Spotify (over 300 million plays) and the No. 1 most Shazamed song worldwide, while racking up 2.6 billion international streams and 600 million combined YouTube views. Upon True’s release, The New York Times heralded Avicii as “an artist carrying today — and tomorrow — on his shoulders.”

In May, Avicii and Volvo Cars, two of Sweden’s most influential brands, launched their collaboration on a new brand campaign which features Avicii’s reworking of the classic song Feeling Good. The music video for Feeling Good was filmed on location in Stockholm and Osterlen, southern Sweden in places of personal significance for Avicii and tells his own story of renewal, following several years of hard touring.

Diverse in sound and sourcing talent from across the continents, the label approaches 2015 with a manifesto for taking its reign beyond the electronic dance bubble, tapping into the worlds of electronic music, hip-hop, indie rock and commercial pop, alongside a wealth of both new and already-established artists.

FC Barcelona, Carlos Vives, and the IDB come together to harness the power of culture and sports for development

29vh_HarnessingThepowerofsportsPIC

Washington, D.C. July 27^th 2015 – In an event held today at the Inter-American Development Bank headquarters, 2 time Grammy-winning and 9 time Latin Grammy winning music star Carlos Vives, Luis Suarez and Marc Bartra from FC Barcelona’s starting lines, Football Club Barcelona First Vice President Jordi Cardoner i Casaus, and IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno discussed how sports and culture can be used from a development perspective to improve the lives of children and youth in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“Sports and culture are not just a pastime in Latin American and Caribbean countries: they are also an effective tool for development. The IDB has been using sports to empower children and youth in the region for over a decade,” said Luis Alberto Moreno, President of the IDB. “Partners such as Fundació FC Barcelona have been essential in accomplishing this, by providing valuable financing and technical expertise to make our sports for development program a huge success.”

At the event, President Moreno moderated a discussion in which FC Barcelona players and Mr. Cardoner i Casaus discussed how sports have played a role in improving their own lives.

“At Football Club Barcelona, we have the capacity to truly support society and the less fortunate,” said Mr. Cardoner i Casaus. “FC Barcelona is more than just a soccer team as, in comparison to others, we have a stronger sense of social commitment. Working through partnerships such as this one allows us as a Club to turn this commitment into action while helping those who need it most.”

With projects in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, the IDB-FC Barcelona partnership has harnessed sports to improve educational and health outcomes, mitigate youth violence, and enhance social inclusion and youth employability. Since 2004, the IDB has expanded sports for development programs to 20 countries with over more than 20 partners.

Emphasizing the equally critical role of culture in empowering communities, Luis Alberto Moreno had an enlightening conversation with Colombian superstar Carlos Vives, discussing the transformational impact that culture and music play in the lives of young people and how it can be used to advance the development agenda.

“For me, music has always been a tool for personal growth,” remarked Vives. “That’s why I believe in the importance of utilizing culture and sports for development. I thank the IDB for the opportunity to share my story, to show how music can be a vehicle for social change, and to connect my country with the rest of Latin America and the Caribbean and the world.”

The event opened with a panel moderated by CNN Senior Correspondent Patricia Janiot and featuring Mauricio Heredia, General Director of the Rafa Marquez Foundation, and Josep Cortada, General Director of Fundació FC Barcelona. The Rafa Marquez Foundation and Fundació FC Barcelona collaborate with PepsiCo on a sports for development project in Mexico.

About Carlos Vives

Singer, songwriter, actor and businessman, Carlos Vives was named the most important artist of 2013 in Latin America. Considered one of the greatest and most influential artists in Latin music, Carlos Vives has transcended barriers for more than two decades, with over 20 million albums sold, 2 Grammys and 9 Latin Grammys, 29 nominations from the Latin Recording Academy, and multiple gold and platinum albums. He became the first Colombian artist in music history to take home a Grammy and had two #1 singles from his latest album.

Vives is an artist who keeps his country close to his heart, is also a UNICEF ambassador, a USAID Ambassador, and appeared at the White House and in front of Congressional Committees on behalf of USAID. He has also honored with the Legend Award from the Hispanic Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C.

In 2012, he was a judge on La Voz Colombia, and his album MAS + CORAZON debuted at # 1 in sales and has produced four consecutive # 1 singles in Colombia. “Volví a Nacer”, “Como Le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo” y “Bailar Contigo” were # 1 on the Billboard charts, also reaching # 1 in Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru and Central America.

He was the top winner in 2013 at the Latin Grammys and at the Latin Billboard Awards in 2014, he received the Spirit of Hope Award for his social work and dedication to noble causes. In the coming months, in role with USAID, Vives will be searching out new musical talent in the marginalized neighborhoods of Colombia, and mentoring artists and helping them become self-sufficient through the creation of their own record labels.

Redfoo’s “New Thang” Is Spontaneously Exploding Worldwide

MUSIC VIDEO NETTING OVER 1 MILLION VIEWS PER DAY; SONG HAS 11 MILLION STREAMS, IS TOP 10 SHAZAMED IN A DOZEN COUNTRIES & HIT #2 ON ITUNES IN AUSTRALIA

29vh_Capture_22

Redfoo’s “New Thang” is spontaneously exploding worldwide, chalking up over 90 million YouTube views, half of which came in the last few weeks alone. The video is averaging over 1 million YouTube views daily. The track peaked at #2 on iTunes in Australia, has received over 11 million Spotify streams, and is a top 10 Shazamed song in a dozen countries and #17 worldwide. It’s catching on like a wildfire without any promotion whatsoever. “New Thang” ships to radio this week.

The catchy horn-laden beat gives “New Thang” a strong club anthem vibe. Redfoo posted the track and video, which features a sax-y cameo from the Sexy Sax Man himself, last year as part of the lead up to his new album. But the world seems to gravitate to Redfoo’s music in the summer, as Billboard points out in their story about the greatest summer songs of all time, and that’s what happening now. You can also hear Redfoo’s music in year’s hottest summer flick, Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck.

Redfoo has earned countless honors and accolades from both his peers and worldwide party rockers. With a massive six Billboard Music Awards, Grammy nominations and shiny hardware from the American Music Awards, MTV EMA’s, MTV VMA’s, Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards and two of France’s most prestigious NRJ Awards, Redfoo has plenty of awards and plaques to decorate his Los Angeles recording studio, where he recorded his upcoming album, Where the Sun Goes.

Hollywood, CA. July 13th, 2015– UNIVERSAL MUSIC LATIN ENTERTAINMENT (UMLE), the world’s leading Latin music label, has announced that it will launch L Festival – Feria Cultural Latinoamericana on October 24 and 25 of 2015 at the OC Fair & Event Center.

Performances will include more than 25 acts representing 10 countries, Pop, Regional Mexican, Urban, Tropical and EDM genres and include Juan Magan, Zion y Lennox, La Santa Cecilia and Far East Movement. Additional headliners and artists from the top of the Latin charts will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, July 15, at www.lfestival.com. Two day access passes will be available, starting as low as $99, plus unique VIP upgrade opportunities to bring fans even closer to their passion for music, food and art. Children under 6 are free and children 7-10 are half price.

Created by UMLE in partnership with concert leader CMN Events, and sponsored by Bud Light, Pepsi and Verizon, the all day festival marks the first time that two 100% Latin music entertainment companies have created an event of this scale. It also marks the first time in OC Fair and Event Center history that an all-Latino community event is showcased.

In making the announcement, Jesús López, Chairman of Universal Music Latin America & Iberian Peninsula, said: “The Hispanic community represents an important share of music consumption and more so in the live concert business. UNIVERSAL MUSIC LATIN ENTERTAINMENT as the leading company in Latin music will once again make history by expanding its entertainment business to offer the Hispanic family a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience. Music, Art, and Gastronomy are part of a lifestyle and the Hispanic family will take center stage at the L FESTIVAL – FERIA CULTURAL LATINOAMERICANA.”

Victor Gonzalez, President of Universal Music Latin Entertainment, said: “As Universal Music Latin Entertainment and market leaders, it fills us with pride to present the first version of L FESTIVAL – FERIA CULTURAL LATINOAMERICANA, an event crafted for the Hispanic family where music, art and gastronomy will converge to provide festival goers with a unique 2-day entertainment experience. Being the first in its kind, we want to ensure that this event sets a new precedent for the Hispanic community by offering a best in class show and cultural experience.”

L Festival – Feria Cultural Latinoamericana will celebrate the wide diversity of Latin culture in the US with interactive music, art, history, and cultural experiences for the entire family. With a projected buying power of $1.5 trillion by the end of this year, the US Hispanic population has a powerful voice in the culture. Hispanics are diverse, speak multiple languages, and straddle multiple cultures, and L Festival – Feria Cultural Latinoamericana is an opportunity for families to experience their shared values while celebrating what makes them unique.

Since 2002, CMN Events has leveraged its multicultural expertise to produce and execute some of the most engaging lifestyle events around the globe, including music tours, experiential marketing events and international soccer matches. CMN now takes on the task to produce and stage the event.

“I am excited to partner with Universal Music Latin Entertainment to create an experience that the Hispanic community can enjoy and cherish,” said Founder and CEO of CMN, Henry Cárdenas. “We at CMN pride ourselves in producing experiences that really engage and speak to music fans. We like to be a part of memorable events that are celebrations of our culture. That’s what it’s all about!”

According to Nielsen, Hispanic consumers spend on average $135 annually on music of which $72 is on live music, far more than the average US consumer. Much of this difference is explained by Hispanics’ love of live music and a culture that values communal celebration.

The L Festival is being spearheaded by Gustavo López, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Universal Music Latin Entertainment. An executive with four children, Lopez was inspired to create a music and cultural festival because he wanted to take his children to an event that he was going to be proud of, where they’d be safe, and where they would have a rich cultural experience. That didn’t exist until now.

Gustavo López concluded, “We’ve crafted two wonderful days filled with great music, art, food and the rich offerings from our culture that we will be proud to share with our families and friends.”

Entradas para acceder a ambos días estarán disponibles, comenzando a $99, como también exclusivos pases VIP para traer a los fans aún mas cerca a su pasión por la música, la gastronomía y el arte. Niños menores de 6 años entran gratis y los de 7 a 10 años a mitad de precio.

Creado por UMLE en asociación con el líder en conciertos CMN Events y patrocinado por Bud Light, Pepsi y Verizon, el festival con duración de dos días enteros marca por primera vez la union entre dos compañías dedicadas completamente al entretenimiento Latino en la cual se crea un evento de este tamaño. También es la primera vez en la historia del OC Fair and Event Center que un evento completamente Latino se lleva a cabo.

Al hacer este anuncio, Jesús López, Chairman de Universal Music Latin America & La Peninsula Ibérica, dijo: “Actualmente los hispanos representan una parte importante en el consumo de la música, y más en conciertos en vivo, Universal Music Latin Entertainment como empresa líder en la música latina vuelve a hacer historia expandiendo el negocio del mundo del entretenimiento ofreciendo a la familia hispana este espectáculo único de su tipo donde La Música, El Arte, La Gastronomía y la Familia Hispana son los protagonistas de FERIA CULTURAL LATINOAMERICANA.”

Victor Gonzalez, Presidente de Universal Music Latin Entertainment, dijo: “Para nosotros como Universal Music Latin Entertainment, empresa líder en la música, es un orgullo presentar la primera FERIA CULTURAL LATINOAMERICANA. Un evento creado para la familia hispana donde la música, el arte y la gastronomía se unen con el fin de darle a los asistentes dos días de entretenimiento único. Al ser el primero de su tipo, queremos que sea un evento que deje precedente en la comunidad hispana ofreciendo lo mejor del espectáculo y la cultura.”

L Festival – Feria Cultural Latinoamericana celebrará la amplia diversidad de la cultura latina en los Estados Unidos con atracciones de música interactiva, arte, historia y cultura para toda la familia. Una gran muestra de la potente voz que tienen los hispanos en el país, es que para finales del año se estima que esta población comercializara unos $1.5 trillones de dólares en los Estados Unidos. Los Latinos son diversos, hablan varios lenguajes y son partícipes de varias culturas, lo que hace que L Festival – Feria Cultural Latinoamericana sea una oportunidad para que las familias tengan experiencias con sus valores compartidos mientras celebran lo que los hace únicos.

Desde el 2002, CMN Events ha utilizado su experiencia multicultural para producir y ejecutar algunos de los mas cautivantes eventos alrededor del mundo que incluyen giras musicales, eventos de experiencia en el mercadeo y partidos internacionales del fútbol. CMN ahora se hace cargo de la tarea de producir y montar este evento.

“Estoy muy entusiasmado por nuestra asociación con Universal Music Latin Entertainment para crear una experiencia que la comunidad hispana pueda disfrutar y atesorar,” dijo el Fundador y CEO de CMN, Henry Cárdenas. “Nosotros aquí en CMN, nos enorgullecemos de producir experiencias que hablan y hacen partícipes a los fanáticos de la música. Nos encanta ser parte de eventos memorables que sean celebraciones de nuestra cultura, ¡de eso es de lo que se trata!”

LA EXPERIENCIA CON EL ARTE – Una selecta experiencia con el arte incluirá varias galerías resaltando artistas de numerosos países Latinoamericanos en una explosion de color, emociones y expresiones de justicia social.

De acuerdo a Nielsen, los consumidores hispanos gastan un promedio de $135 anualmente en música, de los cuales $72 es en música en vivo, mucho más que el consumo promedio en los Estados Unidos. Esto se le atribuye al amor que tienen los latinos por la música en vivo y a su cultura la cual da valor a las celebraciones en comunidad.

L Festival esta siendo encabezado por Gustavo López, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo y Gerente General de Universal Music Latin Entertainment. Un alto ejecutivo con cuatro hijos, Lopez fue inspirado a crear un festival de música y cultura cuando pensó en querer llevar a su familia a un evento que no solo lo enorgulleciera, pero donde ellos pudieran estar a salvo y donde tuvieran una experiencia cultural enriquecedora lo cual no existía hasta ahora.

Gustavo López concluye: “Hemos creado dos maravillosos días llenos de fantástica música, arte, comida, y las enriquecedoras ofrendas de nuestra cultura que nos enorgullecen al compartirla con nuestras familias y amigos.”

Esta será la primera oportunidad que las audiencias y los fans de Trevi en los Estados Unidos tendrán para ver el controversial filme sobre esta sensación mexicana. GLORIA cuenta la historia de una de las estrellas de música latinoamericanas más grandes en el mundo junto con sus sacrificios, riesgos y secretos detrás de su explosivo asenso a la fama, la devastadora y controversial caída que le siguió, y su nuevo asenso a la cumbre. Protagonizada por la actriz estelar Sofía Espinosa y escrita por la cuatro veces ganadora del Premio Nacional de Dramaturgia en México Sabina Berman, la película se desenvuelve a través de las canciones de Gloria Trevi y da un vistazo a que tan sensacional, y tumultuosa, puede llegar a ser la fama.

Gloria Trevi, también conocida como la ‘Madonna Mexicana,’ nació en Monterrey, México donde vivo una niñez difícil, lo que la impulsó a partir hacia la Ciudad de México a la corta edad de 12 años para perseguir sus sueños de convertirse en una estrella. 1989 fue el año que la lanzó al estrellato cuando su canción Dr. Psiquiatra llegó al puesto número uno en las listas mexicanas, después de esto llegó a vender más de 20 millones de copias de sus discos a nivel mundial. Sus palabras cautivaron profundamente a la audiencias ya que evocaba un sentimiento de libertad a través de sus opiniones respecto a la política, géneros sexuales y la religión organizada, temas considerados tabú por los medios pero muy comentados por la gente común. Fue arrestada en el año 2000 después de ser acusada de participar en la corrupción de menores por parte de su productor y manager Sergio Andrade, pero luego fue liberada más de tres años después por falta de evidencia. Su más nuevo sencillo ‘Como Yo Te Amo,’ lanzado el mes pasado, alcanzó el puesto #1 en las listas, reafirmando su lugar en la industria musical.

This will be the first opportunity for the U.S. public and Trevi’s U.S. fans to see the controversial film about Mexico’s rock sensation. GLORIA tells the story of one of Latin America’s biggest musical stars with the sacrifices, risks, and secrets behind her exploding rise to fame, the devastating and controversial decline that followed, and her climb back to the top. Played by rising star Sofia Espinosa and written by the four-time winner of the National Playwriting Award in Mexico Sabina Berman, the movie is developed through Gloria Trevi’s songs and it gives an insight to how sensational, and tumultuous, fame can be.

Gloria Trevi, also known as the ‘Mexican Madonna’ was born in Monterrey, Mexico, where she lived a very hard childhood and then moved alone to Mexico City at the age of 12 to pursue her dreams of becoming a musical star. In 1989 she was launched to global stardom after her song Dr. Psiquiatra became number one on the Mexican pop charts and went on to sell more than 20 million records worldwide. Audiences fell in love with the sense of freedom she evoked with her outspoken opinions on politics, gender, sex and organized religion, which were at the time tabooed by the media but well understood and at the same time questioned by the common people. She was arrested in 2000 after being accused of participating in the corruption of minors of her producer and manager Sergio Andrade, but was later freed due to lack of evidence. Her newest single ‘Como Yo Te Amo,’ released last month, reached the #1 spot on the charts, reaffirming her place in the music industry.
