Los Kitos new CD is music to our ears

Uno Productions and Farias Productions have agreed to produce Los Kitos first music CD. The Los Kitos CD, which is slated to be finished in the spring of 2002, is being co-written by composer Gustavo Farias and Los Kitos creator Martha Montoya.

Gustavo Farias, a graduate of Boston's Berkeley College of Music and 37-year-old wunderkind, boasts a full resume of commercial and network television music production. In addition to being CEO of Farias Productions, an agency that produces jingles and compositions for industry heavyweights, he also oversees Soundabout Studios, which is considered the largest and most successful multiplex recording studio for Latino artists in the United States.

Once the Los Kitos CD is complete, various record labels, such as Sony, Warner, and Rhino Records, will be approached for distribution. "The CD will reflect what Martha has been focusing on all these years," said Luis Medina of Uno Productions. "So it is important that we contact companies who really know about the world of children." Studio musicians and singers will lend their talents to the CD, and the musical end product should contain as many as 12 kid-friendly songs. Targeting the second-generation within a rapidly expanding Latin market, most of the songs will be sung in Spanish, with the possible inclusion of a couple of "Spanglish" or bilingual numbers.
