Los Angeles, CA -- Hecho A Mano En Cuba (Handmade In Cuba) is the first United States record label devoted solely to the legendary music of the country of Cuba. The majority of Cuban artists have not been properly introduced to a United States audience over the last five decades because of the strained relationships between the respective governments. Cuban artists have always been at the forefront of Spanish language music.
Hecho A Mano En Cuba will function as a full service record label and distribution company utilizing the new digital means of promotion and sales to bring this incredible music to the American Latin audience. The musical output of Cuba has kept pace with current styles including hip-hop and reggaeton. There are numerous Cuban artists who are the equivalent of Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Jenifer Lopez and Man.
In its first two years of operation, the label will establish an online presence to release, solely by digital means, 5,000 catalog and current Cuban titles for over 500 albums. During this period, the company will handpick over 100 selected catalog albums by artists such as Celia Cruz, Los Van Van, Benny Mor and members of the Buena Vista Social Club. There will be 40 new album titles from contemporary artists encompassing pop, jazz, salsa, rock, folk, Afro-Cuban, hip-hop and reggaeton. The first releases from HECHO A MANO EN CUBA will take place at the end of March 2009. President Frank Roszak says that, “the label will present this incredible body of music and these incredible artists with the promotion, publicity and marketing necessary to reestablish the music of Cuba to its proper place in the American market."
