Universal Music Latin America Unveils Executive Appointments for its ‘Next Phase of Evolution’ 

Universal Music Latin America, a division of Universal Music Group (UMG), announced Tuesday (March 31) three new key executive appointments — all under the leadership of Jesús López, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Latin America and Iberian Peninsula. 

Alfredo Delgadillo has been promoted to CEO and president of Universal Music Latin Entertainment (UMLE), where he will oversee Universal Music Latino in the U.S. Based in Mexico City, Delgadillo, who was appointed president and CEO of Universal Music México in 2024, will continue to lead the label’s Mexican division and the música Mexicana label, FONO.  

“It is especially meaningful to begin this new chapter after many years working the Universal Music Latino roster: artists with a powerful presence in the market, from true legends to a new generation defining the future of music,” Delgadillo said in a press statement. “UMLE will continue to focus on strengthening collaboration between Mexico and the United States, further expanding Latin music and its culture around the world, and supporting our artists and labels to deepen their connection with fans while amplifying the global reach of their music and their message.”

Reinforcing the move, Daniel Luna — previously senior director of Mexican music at Warner Music Group and currently founder and CEO of indie record label D Luna Music — has been appointed general manager at Universal Music Latino. He will be based in Miami and report to Delgadillo.

Meanwhile, Angel Kaminsky, also based in Miami and who’s been at Universal Music since 2010, has been named president of A&R and artist relations at Universal Music Latin America and Iberian Peninsula, where he will lead the region’s creative strategy and strengthen its global development. 

“These appointments represent the next phase of our evolution as a unified, forward-thinking organization,” expressed López. “Alfredo’s expanded leadership strengthens our regional integration and cross-border label strategy; Angel’s deep creative expertise ensures we continue to elevate artist development across all Latin markets; and Daniel’s operational leadership will position us to accelerate growth in the U.S. Latino market. Latin music is shaping global culture, and our focus remains clear: empower our artists, foster creative excellence, and build seamless collaboration across all territories to drive sustainable, long-term global success.”

Effective immediately, the three strategic leadership moves are expected to strengthen the creative and operational sectors of the company across Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and the U.S. Latino market.
