Walter Kolm Entertainment is managing arena tours, new releases and Latin GRAMMY nominations across a roster that includes Morat, Carlos Vives, Silvestre Dangond, Xavi and Emilia.
Touring across markets
Morat completed four sold-out nights at Madrid’s Movistar Arena, a record for an international artist at the venue, after two sold-out shows at Barcelona’s Palau Sant Jordi. By February, 24 of the band’s shows across Latin America and Spain had sold out. The company says the tour has sold more than 700,000 tickets, with a return to North American arenas planned for 2027.
Dangond sold out venues in Atlanta, Orlando and Miami in March, followed by shows in Lima and Santiago. Seven more U.S. cities are scheduled for December. Vives’ Tour al Sol visited Canada, the U.S., Puerto Rico, Ecuador and Colombia, where he performed his first shows in eight years.
New music and management deals
Emilia released “Bodypainting,” the first single of her next phase, on Oct. 29. Ana Mena signed an exclusive global management agreement with the company in May. Her duet with Lola Índigo, “Pa Ti Toa,” spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on LOS40 and reached No. 3 on Spain’s singles chart.
Farruko joined through a co-management agreement with the company and Massivo Entertainment in March. He is scheduled to appear at Coca-Cola Flow Fest in Mexico City on Nov. 29, with further U.S. and international tour dates to be announced. The roster also includes Venezuelan trio LOS MENOR3S.
Latin GRAMMY nominations and company leadership
At the Nov. 12 Latin GRAMMYs, Vives is nominated for Best Cumbia/Vallenato Album. Xavi is nominated for Best Contemporary Mexican Music Album and Best Regional Song for “No Capea,” and is scheduled to perform at the ceremony.
Argentine native Walter Kolm founded the company in 2012 after more than 15 years at Universal Music Group, where he rose to president of Universal Music Latino and Machete. He signed Vives in 2013 and now leads the company as chief executive officer from Miami. It also has offices in Mexico, Spain and Brazil.
Manager and booking agent Nicolás Jara works with Emilia, Ana Mena and Polimá Westcoast from Miami and Chile. Bruno De Camargo is chief operating officer, Miguel Lua is head of music, and Clara Pablo is senior vice president of global marketing and artist management.
