Music lovers, artists, content creators, industry execs, managers, agents, media and a new generation of the Latin music industry  converged in New York City last week to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the LAMC.  

At the LAMC you could run into teams from  Rimas to Rancho Humilde, Sony, Warner and Universal to the coolest indie labels and artists from Chile, Argentina, Spain, Puerto Rico,  Mexico and the U.S. as well as teams from all of the DSPs.

  Daytime activities at The Stewart Hotel in Manhattan included the chance to network and attend at-capacity panel discussions that featured reps from The Orchard, Spotify, Amazon Music LAT!N, Warner, TelevisaUnivision, YouTube, BRESH, Cosmica, Primary Wave, Remezcla, Sony, Universal, BMI, AIE, Industria Works, La Buena Fortuna, JAK Entertainment, Cinq Music, peermusic, Creative Management Firm, Nevarez PR, CityLab, La 100, Popart Discos, KEXP, NPR Alt.Latino, SiriusXM, Criteria Entertainment, ATO Records, and City National Bank among others.

Wide-ranging topics included "Building Your Fanbase" presented by The Orchard, "Finances for Different Stages of Your Career" presented by City National Bank, "A&R/Artist Development" presented by Cinq Music, "Inspiring Stories and Practical Advice from Women Making a Difference" presented by Amazon Music LAT!N, "Radio in Latin America and Beyond" presented by Industria Works, "Creating and Executing an Effective Release Plan" and our LAMC Q&A between NPR Alt.Latino's Felix Contreras and Jimmy Humilde of Rancho Humilde.

Conference attendees also got the chance to chat, interact, play beautiful guitars, create reels, take photos and more in our exhibitor lounge with Taylor Guitars, Meta, Amazon Music LAT!N, Sounds from Spain, Chile, Canada, TuneCore and NPR Alt.Latino.

The LAMC once again expanded the conference to program a special day of offsite events on Friday, July 8th. We took the discussions straight to where the action happens with masterclasses, panels and showcases at the New York offices of Spotify and Meta. 

Shows took place throughout New York City at SummerStage in Central Park and Coney Island, SOBs, and DROM - where we hosted four nights of music including the official "unofficial" BMI showcase, the Sounds from Spain Showcase, the Indie Showcase and the From Chile to Canada Showcase. This year's showcasing artists included Love of Lesbian, Carla Morrison, Pehuenche, DannyLux, Airbag, Zoe Gotusso, Luna Luna, Rubio, Cease, Battle of Santiago, GALE, Mariah Angeliq, Ecko, and many more.
