 RCAIAriola,
u.s.
BY ENRIQUE FERNANDEZ
NEW YORK A one-year licensing
agreement between RCAI Ariola
Internacional, the major's branch
for the U.S. Latin market., and the
Latin American EMHkloon, brings
RCA nearly full circle in its retriev-
al of the major Latin artists it
Jacked when it opened ilB U.S. office
two years ago.
RCA will manufacture, promote,
market and distribute EMI-Odeon
product in the U.s. and Puerto Rico,
thus regaining, at leagt for the U.S.
market, Conner RCA superstAr Ro-
cio Jurado, who had signed with
EMI in 1984. The Spanish singer's
new EMI album, produced by 00Tn-
poser/producer Manuel Alejandro,
is being released this month under
the new licensing agteement.
A similar 8gret!fficnt existed be-
tween RCA and Ariola, now
merged into one e»mpany, which
brought back to RCA 's roster
chartrbusting Mexican l:iinger J~
Jose. The RCA Latin roster is also
bolstered by ita licensing of A&M
Latin product, including recordings
by Jose Feliciano and Lani Hall.
Besides Jurado, EMl talent to be
handled by RCA includes Luis Mi·
guel, La I\!quena Compatlfa, Den-
iie de Kalafe and Yuri, a Mexican
singer fonnerly with a Mexican af·
filiate of the Spanish label Hispa·
vox, now owned by EMI.
The plot thickens when one con·
siders that Hispavox product, in·
cluding such top talent 118 Raphael,
is still being distributed by RCA's
fiercest competitor in the U.s. mar-
ket, Discoli CBS. Through licensing
agteements and artist signings, the
two majors virtually control the
Latin market.
Overseeing EMI interests is the
label's head of U.S. Latin opera·
tion!:!, Oscar Llord. According to
RCA vice president Manuel Sosa,
there will be label 6eparation at the
promotional level, something that
already exUlts in the RCA Puerto
Rican offices.
"EMI was looking to establish its
own staff," says Uord, "but RCA
closely resembled the kind of setup
we wanted, with flexibility in both
the Latin and American pop areas."
