  "account": "Rawayana has introduced a new management team under the leadership of Carlos Salas, as confirmed by Billboard on Friday, October 9. Salas, who joined Brocoli Records as an intern in 2016, will work alongside Jeff D. Fontanez, Brocoli Records’ partner, to manage the Venezuelan band’s affairs. The management structure has evolved over the years, with Salas increasingly taking on responsibilities related to recorded music, touring, partnerships, and global strategy.\n\nRawayana's vocalist and leader, Alberto \"Beto\" Montenegro, expressed pride in Salas' growth within both Brocoli Records and the Rawayana team, stating, \"It’s been many years of growing, learning, and working together, and we’re excited to have Carlos step into this new chapter representing Rawa and the new generation of talent at Brocoli Records.\" Salas echoed these sentiments, highlighting the significance of the role change after ten years of shared experiences with Rawayana. \"Rawayana and Brocoli Records have been a huge part of my life for the past 10 years. We’ve grown together, taken risks together, made mistakes, and learned from each step.”\n\nThe new management follows three years of co-management between Sound of Light and Brocoli Records, during which Rawayana released three albums and embarked on multiple world tours. Their latest album, ¿Dónde Es El After? (2026), featured their first Billboard Latin Airplay No. 1 hit and earned them a Latin Grammy nomination. Last May, the band signed a deal with United Talent Agency for global representation across various sectors, including touring, media, and brand partnerships. Rawayana is currently on a world tour, set to appear at Billboard Latin Music Week in San Francisco on October 20 for a panel discussion titled \"Building the Tour With Rawayana\" presented by Live Nation.",
