Orlando, FL, February 10, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Pop music industry impresario and entertainment mogul Lou Pearlman announced his new venture into the burgeoning world of Latin entertainment with the launch of Trans Continental Latino, a new label that will develop new talent as well as recruit established artists who capture the broad diversity of Latin music. The first artist signed to the label is C Note, a pop vocal group comprised of five Latino male singers and dancers who are currently recording a debut EP with songs ranging from up-tempo pop tracks to contemporary ballads in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.”

Credited with launching the careers of such pop juggernauts as ‘N SYNC and the Backstreet Boys, who achieved phenomenal success abroad before launching in the United States, Pearlman is set to bring C Note to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic this August to kick off the group’s first tour before returning to the U.S. The tour will promote C Note’s debut single and music video for “WEPA,” a high-energy pop record infused with Latin rhythms that was produced by Dakari and mixed by Lou Diaz of South Florida production duo the Diaz Brothers. The single features rhymes by top Latin DJ and rapper Tony Touch and is currently in rotation in major Latin markets. A soon-to-be released remix by renowned reggaeton beatmaker Echo is set to hit fast-rising Hurban radio stations in the coming weeks.

”With C Note leading the way, Trans Continental Latino is poised to enter the expanding arena of music and entertainment that speaks directly to the Latino youth audience,” said Trans Continental Companies Founder and Chairman Lou Pearlman. “Trans Continental Records’ artists have always held tremendous global appeal, and I am thrilled to bring our cross-cultural success to the next level with the launch of Trans Continental Latino and the amazing talent of C Note.”
