Wanted: An Hispanic Country Music Star
"All we need is a hero, somebody the Hispanic community would relate to and who wants to play country music and get a song on country radio," said Mike Dungan, president and chief executive of EMI Group Plc's Capitol Nashville, home to stars like Kenny Rogers and Keith Urban. . . .
Dungan is looking for an artist of Hispanic heritage who can compete for space on contemporary country radio. "We know that there exist Hispanic fans of country music. We see them at our shows. I believe that a bona fide star that comes from this community could have a huge career," said Dungan, who also serves as president of the Country Music Association.
