RMM Records & Video Corp., the largest U.S.-based tropical-music label with 1995 sales of more than $15 million, has left Sony/CBS Records and signed a two-year agreement with Uni, the distribution arm of MCA Music Entertainment Group. RMM will be the only tropical-music label at MCA.
“We were with Sony for five years and helped put them in the tropical music business,” said Ralph Mercado, RMM’s founder and president.
The RMM/MCA deal greatly enhances RMM’s distribution in Mexico. In 1994, RMM signed Chicago’s Jesus Enriquez, the first Mexican-American salsa singer to land a major recording contract..
