Venezuela has exported many recognizable names, like Ricardo Montaner, who has been representing and leading the culture globally for many decades duo Chino & Nacho, who helped open the door to a new generation of artists internationally and Danny Ocean, whose hit “Me Rehúso” has more than a billion streams on Spotify.Īlready, Venezuelan artists Tayko and Irepelusa have been featured in our RADAR Andinos program-and with Spotify’s launch in their home country, their opportunities to grow their fan bases expand even further. Venezuelan music is a melting pot of sounds and rhythms that are derived from the many different people who immigrated into the country throughout the 20th century and paved the path for a diverse and rich musical identity. Venezuela in particular has a unique sound that’s as diverse as the country’s landscape. By adding these six markets to our global ecosystem, we’re better able to introduce the music and sounds of more people, places, and cultures to listeners around the world.

Spotify is committed to being available to users and creators regardless of where they live. What’s more, local artists will receive an opportunity to reach new audiences both at home and abroad.

īy making both our Free and Premium services available in Iraq, Libya, Tajikistan, Venezuela, Republic of the Congo, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, Spotify users in those markets will now be able to listen to the global and local artists they have come to love-and explore new ones. Today, we’re furthering that commitment by launching in six more markets: Iraq, Libya, Tajikistan, Venezuela, Republic of the Congo, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. So over the subsequent months, we launched in more than 80 new markets and added 36 languages to our platform. In February, we announced a sweeping global expansion to introduce Spotify to more than a billion people around the world.
