Title: Why is Valentino's music library SO popular in Latin America?
Post by: AverageLibraryMusicFan on October 14, 2023, 06:45:42 PM
This is just one question that seems to bug me. Why is Valentino's music library SO popular in Latin America? I'm asking this because every time I hear a Valentino track on YouTube, the comment section seems to be flooded with Spanish and Portuguese comments.

There's a few Mexican TV shows that used Major/Valentino tracks in them (Alongside other music libraries as well). One example is Chespirito, a sketch comedy show that aired on Televisa. Just type in "Chespirito BGM" on Youtube and you'll see tons of videos on there.

Outside of Latin America, the only thing these tracks are heard in the US I can think of are the 1950's reissues of the silent "Farmer Gray" cartoons by Commonwealth Pictures.

I have a different perspective.

I am precisely in Latin America and I see that the libraries that were most used on a continental level are those of Ole Georg Music / Capitol, Network Music Ensemble and Sound Ideas.

I see Valentino less frequently
