Rico Monaco SIGNED to Worldwide Record Distribution and Publishing Deal!

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Rico Monaco signs worldwide distribution and publishing deal with the CdA Group! 
After months of negotiations, CdA Group President Ivan Alvarez signed the deal with Rico Monaco and Ricmon Music which covers the entire Rico Monaco catalogue.  Initially brought together by old friend and management/agency empresario John Regna (Alan Parsons Project, Nazareth, Electric Light Orchestra P2, Maria Conchita Alonso, Dionne Warwick and many others), the new partnership will kick off with the release of the new Rico Monaco Band CD “Genre Bending” in March 2013.

Mr. Alvarez founded CdA Group in 2006 after 10 years as Senior Vice President Universal Music Publishing Latin America. He has education degrees in Entertainment Law, International Business, Finance and Accounting. He also owns the Studio 270 Recording Studio. His company was created with an eye on the future of the music business after years as an executive in the record label industry of the past.  “I am a huge fan of Rico’s brand of guitar driven rock and the opportunity to release Genre Bending while being able to mine his back catalogue is exactly the kind of relationship we like.  When I heard their take of Led Zep’s “Gallows Pole”, I knew I was in.” says CdA founder Ivan F. Alvarez about the new deal.  “We think we can get this music out there both digitally and with synchs based on its quality and style.”
 

Rico Monaco’s brand of red hot rock with Latin and World influences has not gone unnoticed before.  In fact, Rico just came back from performing for the 4^th time at The Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where he played at the invitation of Sammy Hagar (Sammy Hagar, Van Halen) for his Birthday Bash.  Rico rocked the packed house and has jammed many times with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony (Van Halen, Chickenfoot) at the Cantina.  In Sammy’s own words, “Rico Monaco & his band are serious musicians who won a National Battle Of The Bands in 2002 sponsored by Cabo Wabo & Hard Rock Café.  I personally chose them & have had the pleasure of jamming with Rico on many occasions at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. From Van Halen to Santana, Rico Rocks! - Sammy Hagar.  Hagar’s belief in Rico has also lead to the Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum brand (owned by Hagar) to sponsor the Rico Monaco Band tours.
