Ana Bárbara Signs Global Publishing Deal With Kobalt


Ana Bárbara has signed a global publishing deal with Kobalt. The regional Mexican music star was previously with Ingrooves Music Publishing.

The deal comes on the heels of Bárbara’s Reina Grupera U.S. Tour, which celebrated her 30th year in music with countless hits like “Me Asusta Pero Me Gusta,” “La Trampa” and “No Lloraré,” all of which cemented her as a mainstay on the Billboard charts. Last year, Bárbara — born Altagracia Ugalde Motta — became the first regional Mexican female songwriter ever to receive a BMI Icon Award, the highest honor presented by the performance rights organization. In addition to plans to expand her Reina Grupera Tour dates into Latin America in 2025, Bárbara is currently working on a greatest hits album set for release next year.
