EMI Music Mexico[edit]
The origins of EMI in Mexico arose in 1965, when Capitol Records arrived in Mexico under the name of Discos Capitol de México to form a local company with the aim of distributing the music of Capitol artists in Mexico.[3] On July 1, 1970, the company, due to circumstances, became managed by Capitol Records' parent conglomerate, Electric & Musical Industries (EMI). After this change in management, the company became known as EMI Capitol de México.[4]
In 1994, it was renamed EMI Music México again. After the purchase of EMI by Universal Music Group, the company and the catalog became part of Universal Music México the same year. UMG México currently uses the EMI logo as imprint.
