Those numbers are a reflection of CD Baby’s ever-growing artist communities worldwide, but especially in Latin-language countries. Central and South America were the first major regions outside the U.S. to embrace CD Baby’s vision for a stronger independent artist community, and we’ve enjoyed a wonderful burgeoning relationship with Spanish and Portugese-speaking artists ever since.

We’re truly humbled by the massive success artists in those territories have reached and we’re happy we played a role in their music reaching larger audiences.
