As the music industry continues to experience the traumas and triumphs of moving into the digital age, the future of music publishing is seen as more robust than that of record labels. What are some of the reasons for this observation?Historically, record labels have developed and promoted artists through financing the creation and distribution of artists' recordings, while music publishers have exploited the rights in, and to, musical compositions. Given the precipitous decline in sales of prerecorded music, the rules of engagement have changed. Entities like record labels that rely on one form of distribution and high-profit margins such as from CDs will have to re-think their business model or disappear. Unlike labels, music publishers aren't beholden to the sale of prerecorded music and are better suited to handle the changing ways in which consumers choose to get their music.As a King Of Flow, Carlos Talavera revolutionized latin urban music. Now, Talavera's publishing company, CIT publishing company, is set to blaze a new trail in music licensing for independent artists. Founded by Talavera and based in Los Angeles, CIT first established itself as a publishing house where writers and their descendants could entrust their valuable music. The CIT catalog contains such rich treasures as Carlos Talavera's solo work as well as Kings Of Flow, Jose Mendoza y Aldo Mendoza.
