OTH
Enterprises was formed in 1997, with the hope of
filling a void in the Mexican Music available for
distribution in the United States. Much of the
catalog music from the Grupero and Norteño genre
that had been big hits in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and
the early 90’s were being discontinued by the majors
(EMI, SONY, BMG, etc.) or were being commercialized
only in Mexico, while there was still a demand for
this type of music by the mexican population in the
States. In the past six years we have dedicated our
efforts to make this music available to the public,
with acquisitions of different Labels (Fama, Novavox,
Yuriko, Remo, etc.), and by signing and promoting
groups like Tropical del Bravo, Beto Quintanilla,
Los Pasteles Verdes, Pegasso, Renacimiento ’74,
Abril ’78, Etc., that have all been important in the
success of what is now called Regional Mexican Music,
the only genre of Hispanic Music that has
consistently grown throughout the years as the
Mexican immigrant population grows in the United
States.
We are one of the few Independents left in the Music
Industry, operating out of our own 10,000 square
foot facilities in Houston, Texas, and with a sister
company (Frontera Music de Mexico) operating out of
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, that both house a
state of the art Recording Studio (Dos Sound Factory,
128 Track Digital & 48 Track Analog), two Music
Publishers (Dos Sound Music associated with BMI &
Sonido Tres with ASCAP), an advanced
Creative Art Department (Dos Digital Graphics) to
handle all the CD Covers, advertising, etc., three
Record Labels (Frontera Music, Suroeste Discos &
Discos EMO) and a superb Distribution System (Border
Sound Distributing) to handle the distribution of
our Labels, as well as other Independents (Planeta
Music, Balsas Records, Fonodiaz, etc.).
Our success has been our commitment to offer the
public, music from the heart of Mexico, with groups
from the states of San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas,
Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Durango, Coahuila,
Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Puebla, etc., bringing them
closer to their birthplace no matter how far away
they might reside at this particular moment. In our
Catalog you will find top selling artists like Los
Alegres de Teran, Aniceto Molina, Los Relampagos del
Norte, Los
Humildes, Pegasso, Beto Quintanilla, La Luz Roja de
San Marcos, Tropical del Bravo, etc., with their
original top hits and new recordings, as well as
upcoming stars like Shantaje, Caracter Norteño,
Planeta Norte, Alma y Zafiro, Indomables de Cedral,
L. A. Invasion, etc., that are constantly touring
through out the United States and Mexico, playing
their music to the delight of millions of music fans
for the last 20 years.
Our
commitment to excellence is not only to offer the
best original music, but also with the best possible
quality in sound, graphics, etc., at the lowest
possible price. We as a company believe that’s the
only way to reach the working class and for our
distributors to make a reasonable profit. More than
likely our music has been part of your sales in the
past as we have licensed part of our recordings to
the majors for distribution in the last few years
(Max Music, Protel,
WEA Latina, etc).
In the last few months we have signed artists like
Los Hermanos Banda de Salamanca, Los Reyes Locos,
Mazter (formerly known as Sonido Mazter), Flash,
Caracter Norteño (formerly part of Los Traileros del
Norte) and Los Kamikazes (formerly part of Los
Rehenes), and we are in the process of releasing
quite a few more gems of Historia Musical albums, as
well as new recordings by these and other top
mexican artists in the future.
The last chapter of the History of Mexican Music has
not been written, and O T H Enterprises will
continue to bring the best recorded music for the
enjoyment of generations to come.
