MNP Music Fund Acquires The Lions Records Master Catalog

MNP Music Fund has acquired the master catalog of Colombia’s The Lions Records, the label behind Colombian duo Lil Silvio & El Vega.

Why it matters:

• The acquisition reflects MNP Music Fund’s strategy of investing selectively in culturally significant Latin catalogs.

• While much of the global music-rights acquisition market has, for the past decade, focused on larger scale Anglo repertoire, MNP Music Fund says it’s been investing in Latin music “ahead of the curve.”

Expanding catalog:

• The Lions Records catalog joins MNP’s existing portfolio of more than 1,500 songs, which includes the Oscarcito catalog, the Angel Rivera (of Angel y Khriz) catalog, and portions of the CNCO catalog.

• Its portfolio also includes rights to music performed by Bad Bunny (the diamond certified “Niña Bonita”), Marc Anthony, Ozuna, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Nicky Jam, and others.
