Music Tech Company Larrosa Launches In Dubai

Targets expansion and catalog acquisition in the MENA region

Spain-born finance and tech-centric music company Larrosa has opened new headquarters in Dubai, with a “strategic roadmap for MENA expansion through innovation and targeted acquisitions.”

The details:

The company will operate under the name Larrosa MusicTech & Capital.
The subsidiary will manage Larrosa’s combined portfolio of music and tech assets valued at over $16 million.
As per Music Business Worldwide, the Dubai HQ will serve as Larrosa’s “operations and partnership hub for the broader Middle East, North Africa and Asia [MENA] markets.”
The company is in talks with investment funds in the UAE looking to invest in innovative projects at the crossroads of technology and music.

Catalog acquisition:

In 2023, Larrosa raised $16 million to acquire catalogs and distribute advances to artists, with a focus on Spanish-speaking creators.
It has also formed an alliance with Bell Partners to acquire independent music companies and catalogs.
Having already “carried out several operations with Asian catalogs,” Larrosa is also looking at the North African market.
Its focus, however, remains on the investment and technology possibilities in the Middle East.

What they said:

Founder & CEO Cristian Larrosa: “The rapid evolution of the music-tech ecosystem [in Dubai] offers unique possibilities. We’re especially interested in partnering with companies focused on music tech innovations, catalog acquisition platforms, AI-driven tools and fan-engagement solutions.”
