“Invivo Media Group has three main vision pillars: create premium live music experiences; expand the reach of music artists to new fans across the world; and drive media industry prioritization of Latino artists and fans,” said Cordero.
One of its first activities is promoting dates during the 2017 U.S. tour of Ozuna, a nominee for Billboard Latin Artist of the Year.

Invivo Media Group will help revolutionize, elevate and scale the U.S. Latino and Latin American live music industry.”
