Overview
Overview
Originally founded by Eduardo Baptista Covarrubias, the Baptista family built the Group into a vehicle for both well-established and developing Mexican artists. Until Capitol Records opened in Mexico in 1965, recordings by the Beatles were released by Musart Records in Mexico. The Group's Recorded Music Division, consisting of four labels—Discos Musart, Balboa Records, Panart, and Top Hits, is a full-service producer and distributor of Latin music. While Musart is particularly strong in regional Mexican music, the Group also produces and licenses music across salsa, merengue, mariachi, ranchera, tropical and other contemporary genres, making it the top independent producer in the Latin music marketplace. Acquired by Concord Bicycle Music (now Concord) in 2016.
