Organización Musical Sudamericana (OMSA) SRL was founded in Buenos Aires in 1992 by Roberto Barry and John Nathan.

Barry, a renowned music executive, represented BMI, PRS and was the sub-publisher for Boosey & Hawkes. Nathan, based in New York, ran Overseas Music Services, Inc., representing major foreign record labels and music publishers in the U.S.

Recognizing that many foreign publishers lacked proper representation in Argentina, OMSA was established to manage royalties and copyright registrations in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The model proved successful, attracting publishers such as Wise Music, Wixen Music, Ultra, Downtown, Budde, Jobim Music, Fermata do Brasil, and many others.

Since 2018, OMSA has also been building its own local catalog, working with Argentine composers. Today, it remains the leading independent sub-publisher in the region.

Purahei Soul

This Paraguayan duo, formed by Jennifer Hicks and Miguel Narváez, combines Latin American folklore with international rhythms such as Jazz, Blues and Soul.

The name also links these aspects: Purahéi means singing in Guarani and Soul refers to African-American sounds and the word Alma in English.

In 2018 they presented their album Swing Guaraní, which contains songs in Spanish, English and Guaraní. The album has been a great success that took them on tour through 19 cities in Paraguay, and then through Latin America and Europe.
