Amazon has made its music platform accessible to customers in Colombia and Chile.
“We’re extremely excited to expand Amazon Music in Latin America and bring music fans even more choice and ways of discovering music,” Federico Pedersen, head of Latin America for Amazon Music, said in a press release. “This is an innovative time in the industry, and we’re looking forward to offering artists in Colombia and Chile the opportunity to engage with their fans in new ways.”
The catalog features both local and international artists, including J Balvin, Karol G and Silvestre Dangond in Colombia and Mon Laferte, Gepe and Denise Rosenthal in Chile. The company also offers a wide range of popular genres tailored specifically to the regions.
“Our team has focused heavily on curating a wide breadth of content, including podcasts, playlists and stations, to spotlight the diversity of each country’s music and creators to delight our customers," Pedersen said.
Effective immediately, customers in Colombia and Chile can access Amazon Music Unlimited, the music-subscription tier with unlimited access to more than 75 million songs in high definition. They also will find millions of songs in ultra high definition, known for its high-quality streaming audio, which will be available on-demand and without commercials.
Amazon further announced that music fans will not need a subscription or credit card to enjoy an ad-supported selection of top playlists and thousands of stations available all at no charge.
