DEL Publishing has signed its entire song catalog to peermusic under a worldwide publishing administration deal, aligning the publishing arm of DEL Records with one of the most established independent music publishers on the planet.
The partnership lands at a defining moment. DEL Publishing currently holds the #1 song on Billboard''s Mexican music charts with "Todo Lo Fue" recorded by Lenin Ramirez, a release that underscores the catalog''s reach and the cultural momentum behind Musica Mexicana.
A Publishing House Built On Musica Mexicana
DEL Publishing operates as the dedicated music publishing division of DEL Records, the independent entertainment company that has helped shape the modern Mexican and Musica Mexicana movements. The catalog is rooted in the songwriters, composers, and creative voices driving the genre forward, from corridos and sierreño to the new wave of cross-genre fusions defining the sound today.
The peermusic agreement covers the full catalog worldwide, giving DEL Publishing''s songs and writers access to peermusic''s global network of offices, sync teams, and society relationships.

"We''re excited to announce our new publishing partnership with peermusic and look forward to the opportunities ahead. Their team and global network make them the perfect partner as we continue to grow our catalog and expand our global presence."

"Finding the right partner was incredibly important to us, and peermusic immediately felt aligned with where we''re headed.

Just as important, they understand the culture, community, and creative spirit that drive Musica Mexicana, making this a partnership we''re truly excited to build for the long term."
From the peermusic side, Elizabeth Rodda, President, US Latin, Latin America and Global Society Relations, framed the deal around the genre''s global trajectory:
"Musica Mexicana continues to be one of the most influential and fastest-growing genres in the world, driven by an incredibly talented community of songwriters. DEL Publishing has built an exceptional catalog rooted in authenticity, creativity, and culture, and we are excited to welcome their songs and writers to peermusic.
