TORONTO (CelebrityAccess) — Canadian music publisher Anthem Entertainment announced the acquisition of a range of songs from the catalog of the Puerto Rican multi-platinum songwriter and performer Darell.
The deal includes songs from Darell’s catalog such as “Te Boté (REMIX),” Darell’s 10x Diamond certified collaboration with Nio Garcia, Casper Magico, Bad Bunny, Ozuna and Nicky Jam.
The catalog also includes songs such as “Otro Trago” by Sech and Darell; “Asesina” by Brytiago and Darell, as well as songs featuring El Alfa, Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin, Myke Towers, Jennifer Lopez, Wisin & Yandel, and more.
Along with the acquisition, Anthem is increasing its focus on the Latin market and has appointed Victor Mijares as the company’s first VP of Latin Music and will oversee all future Latin signings.
Mijares, who played a key role in the acquisition of Darell’s catalog, previously held positions at companies such as Warner, Sony and BMG.

“I am honored and thrilled to have joined Jason Klein’s outstanding team and to contribute to Anthem’s Entertainment’s continuing success,” stated Mijares. “I believe that the potential to grow our business in the Latin sector is open-ended. We have the passion, commitment, and resources to shape exciting opportunities for our partners. The acquisition of a large portion of Darell’s catalog is a very important step for us as a company as well as for the Canadian music industry. We are delighted to add Darell’s masterful works to our growing repertoire.”
“We are excited to welcome Victor as Anthem’s first-ever Vice President of Latin Music,” added Anthem CEO Jason Klein. “With his deep expertise in Latin music and culture, alongside his extensive industry experience, Victor will play a crucial role as we expand our presence in this vibrant and rapidly growing market. Under Victor’s leadership, Anthem’s acquisition of this extraordinary catalog of songs from Darell is a significant step in our strategy to invest in exceptional Latin music, further diversifying and enriching our already impressive catalog of songs.”
