Mexico’s RBD makes bilingual bid for U.S. audience
Tagged: bilingual, Brazil, latin america, Mexico, RBD, Spanish-language, televisa“For at least the past two years, EMI executives on both sides of the Atlantic were on the lookout for a successful Latin act with international potential. Enter RBD, a coed sextet whose initial success in its native Mexico hinged on the popularity of a daily soap opera.
Since releasing a first album in late 2004, RBD mania spread from Mexico to the U.S. Latin market to the rest of Latin America and Brazil, where the group topped sales charts with albums in Spanish and Portuguese.
Now RBD plans to release two new studio albums: the Spanish-language “Celestial,” due November 24 on EMI Televisa, and “Rebels,” in English, due December 19 on Virgin.”
