Astro. “Chile has exceptional artistic potential, and we are thrilled to partner with Lotus to discover and nurture the next great talents and superstars.We are committed to the growth of the Chilean music scene and look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on the industry,” added Guillermo Castellani, president of Warner Music Cono Sur.
