Disa Records Founders Sue Univision

0

The founders of Mexican regional music label Disa Records said Tuesday that they have filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the music division of Los Angeles-based Univision Communications Inc.


The lawsuit, filed in United States District Court, Central District of California, says that Univision has employed “heavy-handed legal tactics to obstruct” a five-year-old agreement under which Univision is obliged to purchase the half of Disa Records that it doesn’t already own. Univision in 2001 acquired a 50 percent interest participation in Disa Records from the Chavez family of Monterey, Mexico, which founded the label and continues to manage the partnership.


“We’ve been good partners for five years and we’re mystified at Univision’s bullying tactics,” said Disa Chief Executive Patricia Chavez. “My family and I are taking this step with great reluctance only because we see no alternative.”


Univision officials could not be reached for comment.
