History
Nacional Records was founded by Tomas Cookman in 2005. Cookman is the president and owner of Cookman International, a multi-faceted company that specializes in artist management, publishing, marketing, special events such as the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) and Supersonico, original content (La Hora Nacional TV show on MTV Tr3s and weekly radio show, LAMC Mixtape on SiriusXM) and the Latino Loop (a weekly industry newsletter emailed to over 100,000 tastemakers) among other endeavors.
The label's first album release was Aterciopelados lead singer Andrea Echeverri's self-titled solo album on March 8, 2005. It went on to be nominated for both a Grammy and a Latin Grammy. Since then, Nacional has released more than 100 albums, winning its first Latin Grammy in 2007 with Aterciopelados' Oye as Best Alternative Album and Manu Chao's "Me Llaman Calle" as Best Alternative Song. Other achievements since then include 51 Latin Grammy and Grammy wins and nominations.
Nacional Records released the first-ever Starbucks compilation of modern Latin music, Café Con Musica, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard World and Latin Pop charts.
Nacional Records music has appeared in many top movies, videogames, TV shows and commercials, including Breaking Bad, Jersey Shore, No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, EA Sports' FIFA Games Series, Need For Speed, Jack & Jill, Fast Food Nation, Entourage, CSI Miami, Ugly Betty, Target, ESPN and others.
Since May 2013, Nacional Records and Search Party Music created together El Search Party, a new venture focusing on Latin music placement and licensing
In a June 2009 article about Nacional, Cookman was hailed as a "self-propelled phenom", by Jonny Whiteside in LA Weekly.
