Music company Puntilla has signed a distribution deal with Free Cover Venezuela, a platform on YouTube and Spotify that hosts live sessions with multi-generational Latin artists where they sing some of their biggest hits.
With nearly one million subscribers on YouTube and over 300,000 listeners on Spotify, Free Cover has grown exponentially since launching in 2017 by Venezuelan musicians Daniel “Chompa” Bracho y Alejandro “Neg” Barrera. The YouTube channel started with them recording covers and immediately gained traction with clips getting millions of views. Once they moved to Miami, they began inviting artists, including Nacho (of Chino & Nacho) and the late Rubby Pérez, to sing their own hits live.
“We are proud to partner with visionary creators who elevate Latin music culture — and Free Cover is precisely that,” Ricardo Chamberlain, director of operations at Puntilla, said in a statement. “Their talent for blending nostalgia with innovation, and connecting generations through unforgettable songs, is truly inspiring. We are thrilled to welcome Free Cover Venezuela to the Puntilla family and accompany them on this journey where they continue to pay tribute to the classics while creating new cultural moments for millions of people around the world.”
Puntilla is an indie label, distributor, publisher and marketing company that is “designed to be flexible and offer personalized support, it empowers independent Latin artists, managers, and labels with the tools, partnerships, and strategies necessary to shine on their own terms,” according to a press release. The company also handles distribution for Jimmy Rodríguez, Motiff, Randy Malcolm (of Gente de Zona), Norbert Vélez and Alain Pérez, among others.
“Starting to work with Puntilla represents an important step,” added Barrera and Bracho in the statement. “This alliance allows us to bring our music to new audiences, with the support of a platform that values and promotes independent talent. It is the backing of a platform that understands the value of what we do and encourages us to take our music to new places, without losing our essence.”
