EMI CMG Distribution is excited to extend their reach across the music industry by expanding their relationship with CanZion Group, LP in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. CanZion will now take over EMI's new release catalog to CBA stores in the ever-increasing Latino communities found in both countries.

Senior Vice President of sales and marketing at EMI, Greg Bays, is excited about the merger.

"We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with CanZion into the CBA stores that serve the Latino community with our entire release schedule and catalog. Previously CanZion primarily focused on our Spanish product so this will be a great opportunity for all of our titles.

CEO of Canzio, Luis Quinelli added, "We are very pleased to be part of an expanded relationship with EMI CMG Distribution. Together, we will be working to transform the way that we serve the Latino Christian community in the United States and Puerto Rico. In our expanded role we have strategically designed a way to service the entire EMI CMG Distribution catalog to the stores in these markets through CanZion Group, LP. This new development is a wonderful opportunity to continue to bless the growing Latino Christian community.

CanZion will now focus on new marketing and sales services that cater to Latino consumers, but will focus on English-language releases as well.

CanZion will maintain an updated list of top selling "core" inventory titles that will include a wider range of CD and DVD releases.
