UMG’s storied Mexican-music label Fonovisa-Disa, home to legacy releases by Alejandro Fernandez, Los Bukis and Los Tigres del Norte, has been rebranded as Fono, complete with a snazzy new logo and tagline: “M\u00fasica, No Borders.”

The relaunch comes as m\u00fasica Mexicana continues to grow rapidly in Mexico and the U.S.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fonovisa-Disa’s 40-plus-year history has seen, among other developments, a Duranguense movement, distinguished by acts like Hor\u00f3scopos de Durango, K-Paz de la Sierra, Montez de Durango, Patrulla 81 and Trono de M\u00e9xico, the promotion of cumbia legends Grupo Ca\u00f1averal and Socios del Ritmo and the elevation of important Mexican artists like Alfredo Olivas, Calibre 50, Edith M\u00e1rquez, Enigma Norte\u00f1o and Pancho Barraza.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a label, through our artists and their creativity, we have always sought to be storytellers and give voice to what many are not able to express,\u201d said Alfredo Delgadillo, CEO\/president of Universal Music Mexico. \u201cWith that, Fono proudly epitomizes the present moment, in which Mexican Music is growing, influencing other genres, inspiring world-class sounds and sending messages of unity and cultural pride. We are determined to continue uplifting Mexican culture through the voices of a new generation\u2014artists who honor their roots while redefining the sound of tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
