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.
