Musart Records

Discos Musart, known as Musart Records in English, is a Mexican record label founded in 1948 in Mexico City. It is headquartered in Miami, Florida, and is an independent producer, publisher and distributor of Latin music, managing over 72,000 copyrights and 5,000 master recordings with a particular emphasis on the regional Mexican genre. Musart has long been the centerpiece of the music industry in Mexico, with a catalog of classic songs from artists such as Joan Sebastian, Antonio Aguilar, Chalino Sánchez, Pepe Aguilar, Paquita la del Barrio and Grupo Laberinto. Originally founded by Eduardo Baptista Covarrubias, the Baptista family built the Group into a vehicle for both well-established and developing Mexican artists.

Until Capitol Records opened in Mexico in 1965, recordings by the Beatles were released by Musart Records in Mexico.

The Group's Recorded Music Division, consisting of four labels—Discos Musart, Balboa Records, Panart, and Top Hits, is a full-service producer and distributor of Latin music. While Musart is particularly strong in regional Mexican music, the Group also produces and licenses music across salsa, merengue, mariachi, ranchera, tropical and other contemporary genres, making it the top independent producer in the Latin music marketplace.
